wda Posted December 22, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 22, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I visited STEAM museum in Swindon UK, one of many visits over time, to experiment with hand-held photography using higher ISOs than is customary for me. Much to my surprise, and it was well before Christmas, all exhibits were draped in tinsel. So here is my contribution wishing you all a Very Happy Christmas. (X Vario, full aperture, ISO 1250; hand-held; LR5) N.B. For non-Brits, Brunel was a famous pioneering railway engineer who founded the original Bristol to London railway and built his engineering works in a former little village called Swindon, roughly mid-way along the line. Swindon is now a very large English town with no railway workshops. The remaining buildings mostly form a busy Outlet Centre for designer goods, apart from the museum. Welcome, dear visitor!

pauledell Posted December 23, 2013 Share #2 Posted December 23, 2013 David, An excellent picture with marvelous composition, colors, exquisite sharpness and IQ of what I would expect of much lower ISO settings. An interesting narrative also. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Barry Posted December 23, 2013 Share #4 Posted December 23, 2013 Excellent eye, there. Well seen and presented. Brunel was a great engineer, and if memory serves, labored under the full name of Isambard Kingdom Brunel! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The museum relocated in 2000 into a nearby former railway machine shop and has been vastly improved. You would enjoy revisiting it if you get the opportunity.
