Description

I am sure that anyone who has visited the British Museum has photographed this space. Wow, the light, shapes and lines are a photographers dream. You walk into the room and it overwhelms you. My wife and I love to travel. She goes for the museums and sites, I go for photography. So, while she was off touring the museum, I spent an hour or so in this one room and then did kind of a Clark Griswold tour of the rest.

I did not have my tripod with me at this time, so I set the camera down on the stair-rail and shimmed the lens into position with the lens hood. I then used my cable release for a few dozen images, playing with shutter speed and the timing of when to shoot.

10-20mm, f/16, 1/4 sec.

Fabulous photo Tim. I only live about 140 miles from this spot, and have always wanted to go there. May try it next year ! (Love your other shots of UK too!)
