Old Carriage Detail Photo

Photographer’s Note

Today I am taking you to the famous carriage museum situated in Belem, a neighbourhood in Lisboa, famous for its pastry shop, the Monastery and the Tower and also the monument of discoveries.
This Museum keeps incredible examples of the Royal carriages along the centuries, and I would suggest all visitors to go and see it. But taking decent pictures is another story. We all know the signs " No flash " and "No Tripods allowed" only too well. True the new cameras can handle the light much better, no need to buy 1600 ASA films, but this particulart place is tricky in the sense that a strong light comes from the windows especially on sunny days, and there are a lot of direct light windows with old objects inside. The carriages themselves are rather dark. I used a 2500 ISO and got only 1/15.
I turned and turned around for a spot where the light would be acceptable and no harsh rays would interfere with my subject. Finally I decided to crop part of the carriage and settle for the rear only.

Salut Izzet,
Très bon effet du grand angle pour donner de l'originalité à la présentation, le rendu de cette roue en premier plan est impressionnant, bonne luminosité également.

Hi Izzet Bey,
The royal carriage looks not just the backside of the horses, it is spectacular and is in excellent condition and I wonder where its ghostly horses are :)
Thanks for sharing ,
Best regards and have a nice evening,

Hello Izzet,
You captured the splendidness of this ornate royal carriage beautifully! Warm tones of gold and red are rich and the detailed carvings are a sight to enjoy and behold. Photographing it from the back is creative and attention getting.
Warm wishes,
Betty

Salut Izzet
Quel carrosse magnifique ! C'est clair qu'avec le capteur du D3 ou du D700 on va bientot se moquer des panneaux d'interdiction de tripode ou de flash. Peut être verrons nous dorénavant des panneaux : sensibilité limitée à 400 ISO ! La préservation des ventes de photos par le photographe "autorisé" doit être sauvegardée. Ici tu t'en est bien sorti, malgré les conditions difficiles.
Amitié
