Autumn melancholy: black and white photography in the Wienerwald

Autumn melancholy: black and white photography in the Wienerwald

Autumn in the Wienerwald attracts countless visitors, especially the region between Grinzing and the Cobenzl, where the gentle hills of vineyards are covered. This year, however, the typical play of colors made of bright red and yellow could not be observed as usual. Instead, an inconspicuous green dominated the otherwise colorful landscape. This unusual phenomenon offered an excellent opportunity to look at the region in a new way.

A fascinating play of light, triggered by the low sun, was the reason for a series of impressive black and white photographs. The lighting conditions ensured a breathtaking interplay of light and shadow over the vineyards. In this special lighting, the structures of the landscape came into its own - the play of light and darkness came to the fore, which made the colors almost unimportant.

The magic of black and white photography

By deciding on black and white photography, it was possible to capture the character of the region in a new dimension. The lines of the vines and the gentle curves of the hills clearly emphasize strong contrasts. Each detail is put into focus, the grain of the tree bark and the structure of the soil play a central role. The disposal of color puts the accent on the shape and depth of the landscape and creates an almost graphic picture of the Wienerwald.

These photographs not only reflect the physical beauty of nature, but also convey the silent melancholy of autumn. They show that sometimes it is the simple, reserved tones that particularly shape a season. The pictures capture the calm elegance of the region before the cold season, winter, exerts its final influence.

So photography in the Wienerwald not only opened a new perspective, but also created a connection between the consideration of nature and art. This creative process shows how important it is to appreciate the beauty of everyday life, even if it does not always shine in the usual colors. In a world that is often shaped by glaring colors, autumn in the Wienerwald offers an incentive, the silence and nuances of life in a whole new way.

The pictures that were taken during this time reflect the essential attraction of the Wienerwald and the special atmosphere it offers in autumn. This perspective on nature opens up the eyes for beauty, which is hidden even in the more subtle colors of life. It is the invitation to delve into the calm elegance of the area and to discover the subtle grace of autumn in the Vienna Forest.
