Les fantômes des Romains | Bratislava, Slovaquie

Bratislava Castle with a Roman Statue on the Gate in Front

C’est à peu près à l’époque de la naissance de Jésus-Christ que les Romains se sont installés dans la région de l’actuelle Bratislava. Ils y ont construit un camp militaire d’importance stratégique pour sécuriser les routes commerciales. Mais pourquoi trouve-t-on des statues de soldats romains transpercés de lances sur les portes du château de Bratislava ?

J’ai cherché des informations sur le côté, j’ai fouillé sur Internet – mais je n’ai trouvé aucune information concernant ces statues. Pourquoi sont-elles là ? Peut-être que certains de mes lecteurs slovaques peuvent m’aider ?

Le soir où j’ai pris cette photo, le château de Bratislava m’a semblé être un château hanté. Qui sait, peut-être que ces statues agissent simplement pour susciter la peur et éloigner les mauvais esprits ?

Lens: Canon EF-S 10-22mm @ 10mm
ISO: 100
Exposures: 2×7 in 1 EV steps

Location: Southern Side of the Bratislava Castle

Software: Lightroom 5.2, Photoshop CS6, Photomatix Pro

Workflow: To have the statue as well as the castle sharp, I took two separate brackets with each 7 exposures. The image therefore is based on 14 photos in total.

Both exposure brackets I post-processed in Lightroom and Photomatix with the same settings and blended them together later on in Photoshop. That way I could get both the foreground and the background sharp.

My goal is always to create the best possible and most exciting photos to do justice to the places where they’ve been taken.

Maybe this place evokes some good memory for you?

Or it’s a place which you always dreamed to be one day?

I wish a high-quality print of my photo will bring you a feeling of being there at any time!
