Ian Bramham's Photoblog
Natural History Museum, London
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 15 July 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.
The victorian Natural History Museum in London designed by Alfred Waterhouse and opened in 1881.
The central atrium is a magnificent airy soaring space - what a beautiful building.

If I am allowed to say only one word it would be: STUNNING! An impressive hall with a great architecture. You shot captures the beauty of the place in a perfect way. I bet this would also look great in b/w.

Ted from South Wales, United Kingdom
Perfect...difficult though with the contrasting light?

@Ted: Thanks Ted!...no, the exposure wasn't at all difficult but looking again at this now maybe I should have kept the shadows a little darker.

beautiful building, great framing and excellent lighting ! it seems to be a HDR, but I think not, it's not usual for you.

Crackin' shot Ian. Glad you didn't go with b&w as the muted colours add to it somehow. Beautiful lighting control and framing.
