On friday we took a trip up to London, and paid a visit to the Geffrye Museum in Shoreditch, which "shows the changing style of the English domestic interior in a series of period rooms from 1600 to the present day". It was very interesting, and allowed a range of opportunities for photography. The Anti-Shake feature of the Pentax K10D really helped here, as exposure times were around a half to one second, and I was hand-holding, with only a wall or two to help.
There is a garden room, which has a beautiful mural painted by Jonathon Early, but I can't find any details about him. If anyone knows who he is, and where else he has painted, I would be grateful if you could drop me a line - I'd like to link to his work from here.
Later, we ended up crossing the Millenium Bridge, so I got some shots while I was there, ideally the sky would be clear, giving a deep blue rather than the murky look here.
It was a very nice day out!

Great set of photo's Daniel and for hand held captures they are remarkably sharp and the lighting is spot on. What an interesting place to visit..made a note of somewhere we must get to see one of these days!!
I really like the last two shots with the Millennium Bridge..out of interest did you use a tripod for these and any chance of giving the settings!!

Hi Bev,
For the first bridge shot, settings were:
ISO400, 0.7s, f/4.5, 31mm (on my 16-45 zoom), supporting the camera on the handrail.
For the second:
ISO100, 6s, f/4.5, 26mm (on the zoom again), resting the camera on the top of a rubbish bin.
I didn't have a tripod with me, so had to improvise. The bin had a flat top, so I could keep it steady for 6 seconds, whereas the handrail was curved so it was still handheld, but with some support.
See you soon,
Daniel
