Opis
Opis: Le 4km stran od mojega doma stoji ta čudoviti kamniti vrtni paviljon, kateri je bil zgrajen v 17. stoletju.
Domačini so mu nadeli zlovešče ime Hudičev turn. O njem krožijo različne zgodbe: Ena izmed njih pripoveduje o divjih zabavah, ki naj bi jih grajska gospoda prirejala v dvorcu. Druge legende omenjajo pravico graščaka do prve noči z novoporočenimi dekleti ali na primer o tem, da je bojda zahteval, da mu podložniki pripeljejo svoje hčerke, če mu v hudih časih niso zmogli plačati zahtevanih davkov. Danes pa je turn znan kot izjemna fotografska točka za fotografiranje, prirejanje kolturnih dogodkov, porok, itd…
Seveda to ni bil moj prvi nočni obisk turna, a kljub temu vedno najdem kakšno novo kompozicijo.
Tokrat sem večer izkoristil za fotografiranje ozvezdja Orion nekoliko pobližje, kjer sem uspel razkriti presenetljivo veliko podatkov, kateri so našim očem skriti.
Gre za verjetno eno izmed mojih najbolj detaljnih fotografij ozvezdja Orion do danes.
Mislim, da si tokrat turn zasluži novo ime, zato sem ga kar preimonoval v: ORION TOWER.
Izmed 99 fotografij sem uporabil 50 najboljših, ker mi je na žalost med fotografiranjem prenehal delovati grelec za objektiv, kasneje pa se je na nebu naredila tudi tanka meglica, kar si lahko ogledate na timelapse posnetku.
Description: Only 4 km away from my home is located this beautiful stone garden pavilion, which was built in the 17th century.
The locals gave it the ominous name of the Devil’s tower. Various stories circulate about it: One of them tells about the wild parties that the lords of the castle were supposed to hold in the manor. Other legends mention the manor’s right to the first night with newly married girls or, for example, that he demanded that the subjects bring their daughters to him if they could not pay him the required taxes in hard times. Today, the turn is known as an exceptional photo spot, organizing cultural events, weddings, etc…
Of course, this was not my first night visiting this tower, but nevertheless I always find some new composition.
I took advantage of this night to photograph the constellation Orion a little closer, where I managed to reveal a surprising amount of data, that is hidden from our eyes.
It is probably one of my most detailed photographs of the Orion constellation to date.
I think this tower deserves a new name, so I just renamed it: ORION TOWER.
Out of 99 photos, I used the best 50, because unfortunately the heater for the lens stopped working when my camera was taking photos, and later on there was also a thin mist in the sky, which you can see in the timelapse video.
And here is a timelapse of tracked sky, single raw frame without tracking, and final image at the end!
