Are you on Google+ ? I signed up earlier this week mainly because of the growing photographic community on there. I’ve taken some pretty decent shots in my time but I never tire of looking at the inspirational work of some of our modern day masters….
Every time I log on someone has posted another absolutely stunning image and I’m just blow away by how awesome it is. My own offerings seem boring, dull and ordinary in comparison.
Anyway all that said I thought I’d take a little break from posting crafting stuff (just a few days I promise) and post a few images and the stories behind them.
This image was captured at the Natural History Museum in London earlier this year. Due to the nature of the museum and the restrictions placed on photographers (such as you can’t use a tripod in such a crush of people) all the images were taken handheld. Some people think this means you can’t get good shots if light levels are low which isn’t really true. It just means you’re more limited and you’ll probably have to crank up the ISO setting (think film speed pre-digital).
I stood by this part of the human reproduction exhibit for quite a while just watching the reactions of people as they walked past. Peoples responses ranged from fascination through to discomfort…. Does it effect you?
Oh and if you want to ‘circle’ me on Google+ it’s Mara Acoma.
