Send us Fan Mail
So you are in a museum or an art gallery. Or some other similar place. It is lovely and quiet, with nice low-level lighting and local lights highlighting all those fantastic exhibits. The whole place has been carefully designed with a bespoke lighting scheme.
And you see something really cool that you would love to photograph. What do you do?
Look is what you so—no more. Do not take a photo. Do not start popping your flash gun. Or the flash-type thing on your phone.
And in this very ranty episode, I tell you
• Why you should not use your flash in an art gallery or museum • Why is using flash a waste of time anyway? • I ask why everyone is photographing the same thing at the same time. • Why you should stop taking photos of everything • An alternative plan to stop this nonsense
I also tell you
• What if you use a phone to take photos (just look) • What I do
All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in (much) less than 27 (ish) minutes!
What is not to love? How utterly splendid.
