The art
museum or art gallery is a perfect place for photographers, novice or advanced,
to study the use of light and composition as it is employed by the artist. Besides the educational aspect- the museum
also offers wonderful people shooting possibilities. It is interesting to watch how the patrons
bond with the art they are viewing.
Most
museums will allow you to use your camera without flash or tripod. Before starting this shooting experience
check each of the gallery rooms for lighting as it relates to your ISO setting-
I usually set my ISO at one setting that will enable me to shoot at f/8 with a
shutter speed no lower than 1/30 of a second.
Then, while you are enjoying and studying the artwork –watch how your
fellow art lovers react to the various pieces of artwork for interesting
possibilities.
