Rodin Gallery

So, I think I spent more time trying to figure out an image gallery for this blogger blog than I did at the museum.  Not literally, but it sure feels that way.  And we'll see how this works.  Please, let me know how this style of image gallery works for you, and if you prefer this gallery style. Or if you would rather the larger, expandable version of the images, I would love to know that too.

I had a great time at museum, and these are a few of the follow-up images I tried to take of the Rodin hands.  





 
And for your viewing pleasure, a few of the other images from the day.

Rodin Hands, part 2

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.
