Revisiting Breda, Paris, Birmingham and Bavaria

The joys of the internet combined with modern digital photography! This morning I have already savoured working on shots of the beautiful organ in Breda Grote Kerk (craftsmanship oozing from every angel!), one of my very favourites, that of the Cavaille-Coll organ in St Sulpice Paris, The extremely ornate baroque Riepp organ in Ottobeuren Abbey, and the green and gold hand-painted pipes of the Birmingham Town Hall Mander organ. What I look for in my organ photos is that 'wow!' factor. It's the kind of response I hear when sitting in a pew in a cathedral, and a tourist sees an organ for the first time. I try to capture this sort of reaction in my shots, and bring the skill and craftsmanship of these incredible instruments to people who have no idea about organs, past that of the harmonium at their local church.
