Workshop

Shot this in a museum today.

Re: Workshop

Sorry Ash, this one does not really work for me. I am not keen on the angle for this type of picture.

I think the sepia suits it although there appears to be a lot of burn out in the windows and I think you could get more out of the shadows.

I liked your "Seat Sir?" though.

Now Ash I do like this, perhaps the the angle is a little overcooked but the idea is I feel a good one.

Light on this sort of shot is always troublesome and the burn out inevitable, If you can shoot it again I would take a tripod expose one shot for the windows and one for the interior, and blend the shots together.
There must be hundreds more shots to be had in that workshop it looks to me like a photographers paradise.

Re: Workshop

Hey Patrick, I new you would like it It was a quick visit with a compact camera, and your idea to re visit with the tripod I think is worth it, like you say there is sooooo many shots ide like to take in there, the tilt of the camera is a technique ive used before to not only make a shot a little different but mainly to sqeeze a little more into the frame at the sides when top and bottom is not so important.
Hey and the best bit is, its only 5 mins walk away

cheers

Re: Workshop

I like the angle at which you have taken this. When viewing such subjects, I find myself peering into the frame, tilting my head this way and that trying to see all that is there .. (as though I can really see round corners!) and it sort of adds to that feel. The very bright windows don't bother me either, as I can imagine being in a relatively dark workshop with the light streamed from the window. Lots to look at here, full of interest, I like it.

I wish I had been able to reproduce the workshop I saw last week at the Tanfield Railway, a 30 ton lathe with swarf all over the floor ... there just wasn't enough light.
