Upstairs...

This week in SSC:

Intentional camera movement (ICM)

The idea is to create an interesting image by intentionally moving the camera while using a long exposure. I used a circular movement here for 2.5 seconds which you can see mostly in the windows.

This is the stairway in my house in another dimension. ;-)

...and for Sight and Sound:

Yazoo (or Yaz in the U.S.) from their "Upstairs at Eric's" album (1982)

Only You

Only You

Interesting combination, the image and soundtrack! =)

First impression was "horror movie sceen", but with music it turned "sad", like someone forced to leave in a hurry.

Well, the song is about someone who is haunted by an old love so maybe it fits? ;-)

Great b/w result here, Karen.
If I learned something during this week: it needs extreme contrasts (light-dark or oppositional colours) to get more successful results (may be 2 than 1 %)

Karen's Place ^club has replied to Heidiho ^club

Yeah, good point. Danke, Heidi. :)

Roger Bennion ^club

I haven't tried icm for quite some time and this inspires me to have another go, Karen :-) The result is most effective and love the way the stairs lead the eye to another dimension :-) A clever musical match too. Yazoo is a new name to me. Liking this version :-) I am familiar with this song and I am trying to remember who else recorded it :-)

Thank you for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

Karen's Place ^club has replied to Roger Bennion ^club

Thanks, Roger. I thought it was a lot of fun.

If you look above at Sami's comment you'll find the answer to your musical question. :-)
