Went up to Montreal a few weeks back to view the Peruvian exhibit at Montreal's Museum of Art. Having been in Peru and the museum in Lima that provided many of the artifacts in the show, we found it an especially interesting collection - a chance to relive in a small way a memorable trip.
Got the shot above, this week's Homepage pic, while regrouping in the stairwell outside the museum cafe. I was drawn to the geometric shapes contrasted with the totally non-linear cloud.
Also got some shots in the museum. I was shooting, as is almost always the case these days, with the Sony NEX. One of the extra features of these cameras is a setting that fires off six quick shots in low light situations and then stacks them and produces a single image - it's a way to get shots in low light without having the effects of high noise levels. It's a feature perfectly suited for shooting in places like museums where flash is verboten.
Trips to Montreal are always fun and having a terrific museum nearby is great. NYC is not that far away, but Montreal is closer. You can browse the internet and look at lots of great art, but seeing it up-close and personal is so much better. Museum trips always provide wonderful inspiration and re-energize those sometimes reluctant creative juices.
