Shutter Speed: 8 seconds, Aperture: F/8.0, ISO: 100
I took these photo’s on a visit to Hagi’s art museum. Photographing the exhibits themselves seemed a bit sterile and boring so I decided to make the visitors the subject. Propping my camera wherever I could find, I slowed the shutter speed- catching people stopping to ponder whilst others pass with just a glance, a blur as they meander through the shot.

Thanks! Everyone was a little bit confused by me standing around with my camera not seeming to be taking pictures of anything specific but I am pleased how they turned out 🙂

…Winegums! I love these pics! it’s so charming the contrast (not only visual, but also conceptual!) between two elements: the stillness of works of art in a museum and the fleetingness of visitors. Great idea! I’ll try to do the same! cheers!

Quite so. Moving works of art can make one giddy.

Taking photos in musuems reminds me of all those ridiculus occasions in South America, where we saw cool stuff to photo, but werent allowed to. So we did our sneak/distraction routine, or do sly snaps whilst pretending to ajust the settings or whatever lol!

haha yeah. Got to love my “rob just stand here” and take a m
picture over your shoulder routine. Like with those families at the dam.

I like the movement on these images, and glad you presented them as b&w – it suits them.

🙂 I sometimes think I overuse black and white but this is definitely an occasion when it is warranted!
