The September edition of the Frugal Film Project saw me go abroad. I took my trusty Canon EOS 1000N plus the 24-85mm to the small town of Unterzeil near Leutkirch im Allgäu, Germany. Close to the town of Unterzeil lies Schloss Zeil, the subject of today's outing.
Schloss Zeil is the home of the descendants of the Fürsten von Waldburg-Zeil and was built in 1599-1614 by Froben von Waldburg-Zeil. In recent history (1945) the Schloss shortly housed the Vichy-French government in exile after it was driven from France.
This last image was shot at the Mindelburg, 49 km to the northeast.
As usual, the film is Agfaphoto APX 100 which was developed at home with Adonal.
Did we visit this castle together many years ago, or was that a different one? The third photograph is my favourite. The sharpness and modest contrast on the castle buildings contrasting with the more fluid forms of the clouds and the bushes / trees, the relative smallness of the building that make you look better / a second time also make you wonder around a bit on the photograph. I bet this would be a great candidate for printing a large version.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joeri, that is a worthy suggestion! And you're quite right, we visited this castle when we were in the area several years ago.
