These are two identical buildings/museums in Vienna photographed at the same time of day. You can well see the difference in lighting and how a photo will turn out.
Jill and I made our first visit to the Museum today since the Covid Pandemic started over 2 years ago.
In fact, it was our first time travelling on a train, bus or tram for that time also!
All 3 in one day.
How about that for sticking to the rules !
“ So What did you do there, my blue eyed Son?
What did you see there my charming young one?
We saw many people with no masks on their faces,
We stifled inside overcrowded places,
We admired many images of animal species,
We heard children's voices raised in excitement.”
But, above all………..
We regained our desire to LIVE again”.
With acknowledgment to Bob Dylan.

One morning I decided to take a trip to the National History Museum in London and I wanted to take this shot from the top of the Stairs.
It was taken first thing in the morning when the Museum opened at 10.00 so there were not many people there so i was able to get a shot with not many people around. I love how the light was coming through the windows and it made the picture hard to expose but i think it makes the image more interesting.
As i was leaving there were many groups of school children entering the Museum so I was glad that I was able to get the shot before it got too busy.
If you like this picture please feel free to look at my London Set for others from london or my HDR set for all of my HDR shots.

Main staircase at NHM Vienna
hall 10 - dinosaurs
The principal element of the hall is a central platform where the large skeletons of Diplodocus, Allosaurus and Iguanodon can be viewed from all sides. The dinosaur podium is animated by the Animatronics-model of an Allosaurus, correlating with the skeleton cast of a 150-million-year-old Allosaurus fragilis from Utah. Measuring more than 6 m, the very realistic model represents a “youngster“ of this most dangerous predator of late Jurassic.
A full-size Pteranodon model with a wingspan of 7 m dominates the air space of the hall. Further highlights of the exhibition are the skeleton of Archelon ischyros - the largest turtle ever, a female ichthyosaur with fossil embryos and several pterosaur-skeletons
At the bottom you can see the tail of a huge dinosaur skeleton, just to give you a sense of scale. The entrance hall of the Natural History Museum is huge. And it is a sight in itself. What a magnificent place. Looks at all the ornamentation in in the ceiling.
Some technical info: This is a vertical panorama (some call it vertorama), 5917x10131 pixels in size. Larges enough for a huge print. I am quite amazed at the dynamic range of my camera. In the original shots, the windows were completely blown out. Still I was able to get this amount of detail in post processing without having to use HDR.
Enjoy!

The main entrance of the Natural History Museum in London.
I was standing in the queue waiting to get in when the sun lit it up beautifully.
An older work...one of my favourites...
Made for CGTalk mattepainting contest. It was featured also on www.mattepainting.org/index.php?categoryid=12&p17_sec..., in CGChosen magazine no5. If u like it u can download the wallpaper from cgwallpapers. I made also a making of with all the stages involved, from people removal and set extension to the final mattepainting.
I'm still not sure of this one...I'm annoyed that I couldn't quite get the whole dinosaur in shot.
However, I quite liked the pools of light dotted around the whole scene so here it is.

I added the picot edge. The pattern calls for ribbing, but I feel the need to fancy everything up.
The natural history museum in South Kensington, London.
Home to the world famous “ Wildlife photographer of the year competition “.
I am fortunate living in south London. Within 1 hour from home I can be sitting in a very comfortable chair enjoying a coffee before wandering around looking at the exceptional collection of animals, birds, sea creatures and dinosaurs.
I admire everything about the Museum. The exhibitions, the talks, staff and displays. You probably realise, I joined as a member about 10 years ago. There are many benefits; no queuing, free entry to all exhibitions, including the superb ‘Wildlife Photographer of the Year’ Exhibition; use of a superb new set of members rooms at the top of the building overlooking a large area of NW London, waiter service etc, etc.
My membership is also the most deserved contribution I have ever made to any club or organisation in my life.....think about it !
