The most inspirational photographs are often those where the lighting plan doesn’t play a major role; those where the idea and aim of the picture takes the lead.

Werner Rolli organized a special steam train event near Solothurn last weekend, and I was able to help out by publicizing the event through the usual Swiss Strobist channels, as well as attend the event and get some photos myself.

The Käfigturm – a city prison for several hundred years until 1897 – is now a pretty unique centre for events and exhibitions.

I took advantage of the adjacent tram stop and went to see the photos this lunchtime.
