Critique Welcomed Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany

[John Holland]

Not too far from Munich is Neuschwanstein Castle. To get the first shot I crossed over the Marienbrücke Bridge, and the hiked up the path a ways. I found a trail that lead to a nice view point.

John, I resent you photographing my house without asking for my permission

What an amazing place. Good shots, worthy of any good tourist brochure.

 

[Milan Vjestica]

All three are very good. The second really gives an appreciation of scale and space.

Rob, you obviously earn far too much!

 

[John Holland]

LOL, Rob - you'll probably be really unhappy to know that Disney used "your house" as a model for its Cinderella's castle.

Milan, Rob probably needs more money as "his house" is mostly unfurnished.

 

[Milan Vjestica]

John, Rob is an artist and likes to lead a minimalist lifestyle.

I'm all really into Cinderella! Not!!

I'm all really into Cinderella!

Rumour has it you're her fairy godmother.

Bonnie photos again, John. (Do you carry a tripod or are you doing all the stitching on hand held shots?)

 

[John Holland]

Thank you for the comments, Brian. I usually travel without a tripod (mostly due to space and weight concerns). So I have to be a bit more careful on shooting the separate images with sufficient overlap to help with the stitching. So I end up shooting more frames than needed.

 

[Glen Roberts]

We visited there on our honeymoon 25 years ago, great to see it again.

All we need now is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang flying away.

 

[John Holland]

Thanks Glen - I don't have any images of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but I did visit Salzburg on this trip. So I'll put up some Sound of Music scenes.

 

[Douglas McMann]

Great images John...quite an impressive building...

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Again as a latecomer to the thread, all I can say has been said already. A great series and very film like.

Thanks Glen - I don't have any images of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but I did visit Salzburg on this trip. So I'll put up some Sound of Music scenes.

Hmm, Sound of Music you say. Can't wait!

Fabulous shots though, and it always amazes me that this is such a recent building. We watched a documentary on King Ludwig II over Xmas, not the most down-to-earth monarch of recent times! Mind, look what the president of Turkey is building!
