daniele_malleo 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Don, thanks for your comment. I should say that this film was actually pushed to 1600, so that I could confortably hand-hold my camera inside the museum (tripods are not allowed). Link to comment
daniele_malleo 0 Posted February 10, 2003 This is the reading room inside the great court at the British Museum. It was shot with a 50mm lens, tri-x film pushed to 1600. I would appreciate comments specifically on exposure and composition. Thanks. Link to comment
don_james 0 Posted February 10, 2003 Excellent exposure, with nice shadow detail, especially at 1600. Composition is also very nice; it gives the impression that the books themselves are holding up the roof. This might be enhanced by cropping a bit from the bottom. If possible, I might have taken another shot from a few feet to the right of your position, to try to expose the full interior of the arch above the clock but I can't say for sure if that would be an improvement.

johnfriar 0 Posted February 11, 2003 Daniele, you have done a great job with both composition and exposure. There's detail in both the book shelves (which I know are quite dark) and through the windows. I took a different shot in the same place (http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=561109) and found the exposure very tricky, also. Link to comment
miguelangelhoyas 0 Posted March 16, 2003 GREAT shot!! Love the light and contrast. COntrast in every sense, the lower zone full of books almost without free space but the upper zone looks ethereal, clean and well illuminated. A real winner. Link to comment
matt_l.1 0 Posted March 22, 2003 A bit too cluttered for my taste in the bottom.. perhaps quite unavoidable. Great architecture shot! Link to comment
