British Museum Revisited

I'm currently going through some older photos in the vain hope of cataloguing everything. Some of them are better than I remembered (especially as I took them on a Canon Ixus, this was in my pre dSLR days), so I thought they deserved a little outing.

These are from a visit to the British Museum, London in Oct 2006.

..as always C&C welcome. Added to AVForums Flickr Group also.

Cheers,

MOD COMMENT

Agreed! lovely set mate but just watch your file sizes, we're seriously image heavy in this forum so try and keep to 300KB and under where possible

Agreed, it's very well exposed. You've captured it nicely.

Re: British Museum Revisited

Really like #1 I think the colours are brilliant, also really like #5 I think the vignette adds to it and draws you in

Re: British Museum Revisited

Thanks for the comments

Picture #5 does not have any vignetting applied, that is straight from the camera. The way they choose to illuminate some of the exhibits in the Museum is inspired

Re: British Museum Revisited

Hello there

A very nice set Its a great place to go and visit isn't it was there myself not too long ago.

Like the angle and colours you got on #1. Nice atmosphere with #5.

Got a picture of #4 myself which I haven't processed yet.


Did you use any flash with these?


Cheers Holo
