Greek artefacts from the Louvre Museum collection…

[hwchoy]

went to see the Greek artefact exhibit at the National Museum…


The National Museum Rotunda ceiling, in two exposures





The sculptor Thucydides, circa 150CE.




Funerary lion (which stands guard over tombs) circa 350BCE.





A female sculpture known as “Barberini Suppliant”, circa 420BCE by Deinomenes.




Bust of “Aphrodite Sosandra” circa 2nd century CE.




Full body sculpture of a discus-throwing athelete, circa 2nd century CE.

why not combine the two rotunda images as a HDR?

[hwchoy]

I haven't learn HDR yet!

[benny]

The second shot of the lion is quite impressive. Were you allowed to use tripods?

Cheers,

[hwchoy]

thanx Benny, no tripod used as you would expect. they didn't say no tripod, but it wouldn't be useful anyway, there are too many people milling around and you'd only get in other people's way.

I was looking at the 1st 2 pics. The EXIF seems the same ie same aperture and speed and ISO. How come so different? PS?

[Simon]

because choy might have FE lock to give a different exposure

[hwchoy]

actually it was just linearising the curves in DPP before transferring to PS, but if your camera has spot meter, or you have time to play with manual settings that will be more satisfying
