a Soft Pool of Indoor Light, MoMA NYC
Posted by dj.tigersprout (New York City, United States) on 1 October 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.
and now for something different (!)
a delicate, giant mobile by Alexander Calder, and a paper machete horse head by Pablo Picasso hang in a still and otherwise empty room, in one of the quite hidden and magically atmospheric upper wings of the Museum of Modern Art...

Very different from your normal landscape photos, but just as unusual and special. Just love this place - had the pleasure of visiting during one of my business trips to NY. This photo brings out the special feel the museum has - well done.

Were you at a trendy NYC nightclub Jaycee, ha! I really like the soft blue ambiance, makes it look very modern and jazzy. I like your angle and the lines.

The colours are so cool and surreal. I love this kind of light, that creates silhouettes and intrigue. This is great Jaycee.

The mobile and paper machete horse head do a good job of breaking up all the symmetry of lines and squares. Love this color that you captured

Nice lighting and reflections here, I really like shooting with natural light myself. It does feel COLD in that photo though brrr... =P
P.S. After shooting with the XTi for so long you get to know its limitations and then you get to make fine adjustments in photoshop. plus I like to take my time to compose which helps a bunch. I also find then when I have the best lighting it also brings out details and sharpness of the photo.
