I went out on a drizzly Sunday morning at opening time; there was already a short line to enter. Lighting is comprised of a lovely, diffused skylight glow and arc lights that fry your retinas, with various high-intensity spots more or less randomly distributed. I found it a challenge to get *any* decent images, and stuck with the medium telephoto throughout; most of these are exposed at ISO 800 and wide open on the Olympus 50/2. I confess that I found this sort of 'documentary' work utterly relaxing, as opposed to confronting disaffected subjects in the Green Leafe, for instance. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2687492&size=lg http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2687503&size=lg http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2687485&size=lg http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2687499&size=lg http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2687505&size=lg The titling's a little shaky. I can't seem to put my hands on the small notebook in which I jotted down technical info about the aircraft, and the NASM website's not much help. Comments, derision, etc. invited, as ever.
