T-Rex Skull

This was taken with a Petri 7S Rangefinder camera with a broken

meter. I use it with Kodak Tri X 400 Black and White film which has a

latitude of 9 stops and I try to guess the exposures. It's fun and

challenging. Comments Welcome !

the skull is lost in all the visual clutter of the roof, lights, railings etc.

Hi Doug, I'll admit it's not one of my best photos. But, It was taken with the Petri 7S and I did guess the available light exposure. My reason for uploading it was to add it to my presentation entitled "Guesswork". Indoor exposures are the most difficult to guess because of highly variable lighting conditions and this one in particular was very difficult. If you don't believe me, give it a try sometime. I wasn't taking photos under any type of professional circumstances. I was there on a school field trip and took this camera just for the fun of it and to play around with challenging lighting situations. I did circle this entire exibit several times and there was no angle that was good. This was the most dramatic angle available. I had one fixed lens on the camera. The 45mm F2.8. So, not much flexibility. Well Anyway, Now I know what to do next time I need to hide a T Rex. Just find some clutter. They disappear like magic.
