These three shots were made in the Maritime Museum in Amsterdam. All objects were within dimly lit glass cabinets: Ship's figureheads https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...R--7500335.jpg More figureheads https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...R--7500337.jpg Decorative carvings https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...R--7500339.jpg Hi, Nice images. The last one, the lion's head, looks quite similar to one that I took many years ago in Stockholm. The sailing warship Vasa had been found and raised,and was housed in a waterproof quonset hut while being sprayed with ethylene glycol to prevent the fragile wood from falling apart after several hundred years under water. I wonder if that was a naval symbol, or just a symbol of courage and strength. Do you mean the Lion as shown in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbxqiodbjTI ? My pictures include the original lion's head on the raised ship, not this modern copy. Then there is always Bert Lahr in The Wizard of Oz. (Unfortunately, since my recent move from a large home to an apartment, many of my old color slides are in a storage facility.) Mort Linder |

wrote: -- snip -- Not bad. Have you tried pushing the ISO to 50k? The results of this shot intrigued me. While we we there, there was an exhibition of 'Light' in Budapest. There was one room containing three-dimensional UV-fluorescent spaghetti and walls very dimly iluminated by projectors. The lighting of the walls was at the lower threshold of color vision and most people found it impossible to determine exactly what colors were present. I took this shot (all LR has done to it is to size it and convert it to JPG) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...R--7501432.jpg at ISO1250, f/2.8 and what turned out to be 1/2 sec hand held. My main objective was to try and read whatever letters were projected on the wall. Instead I was amazed to see colors which previously I had no idea were there. The staff of the exhibition were equally amazed. The articulating viewfinder has me excited. I used it to take some sneaky shots. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...R--7500670.jpg The subject had no idea that I had photographed him and later told me he was glad I hadn't. (Not like the guys in Amsterdam who earlier had bombarded me with beer coasters :-). -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

(Not like the guys in Amsterdam who earlier had bombarded me with beer coasters :-). I like photographs that make you think twice. My first impression is that this is nice street shot. My second impression was that he is balancing a long and heavy pipe on his hand. I found him an interesting character. He obviously was not on the breadline but, in his attitude to life, he was 'different' - probably interesting. Then there was this guy: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...R--7500826.jpg -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
