I went down to the Gates of Hell today. However, the weather was actually fairly pleasant.
I was able to take some helpful photos of the hands in their natural museum environment. I also learned a valuable lesson - always check your equipment before shooting. I was shooting in JPG mode, not Camera Raw, unfortunately. It actually is not a huge deal, as these are just reference images.... but it still bothers me. Live and learn, I suppose.
So, these are the best quality, but I sure had fun taking them. I will probably wander back through the
Cantor Arts Museum- it's both free and awesome. Not a combo you see very often!
In the mean time, a smattering of some of the many, many images I took today.
