Museum of Natural Science

I enjoy shooting in museums. I also enjoy religious artifacts as

subject matter. I made two runs through the museum this night the

first to shoot individual items, the second, this one, to do overall

installation shots using very slow shutter speed. There seems

something appropriate about finding apparitions milling about in

museums. I particularly enjoyed the illusion that the figure in black

seems robed as a priest and the second figure seems to be in a

prayer position—both serendipity, not planned. This was ten seconds

at f/22.

Looks really as a haunted house! Has a mood at that's what counts!

Best regards Gary!

Pierre, Thank you for the comment. I agree, I was trying for a haunting mood to the photograph. After all, museums are places for collecting relics from the past. We enjoy revisiting places and objects that brought us pleasure in the past or remind us of the changes we have experienced. Why should not the spirits from the past enjoy roaming a museum at night.
