Photography at the National WWII Museum
Oct 6, 2014 12:12:05 #
I took my D700o on our visit to the WWII Museum. Right after we got to the first display, i started to take pics - with my pop-up flash. A very nice tour guide came over and told me I could take as many pix as I wanted - but flash was not permitted.
As this museum, like most of them, they use low lighting levels so as not to deteriorate the artifacts, so this means dialing up the ISO. I shot at 6400 and did fine.
You'll need to either set white balance in-camera - if you're shooting jpegs, or if you shoot RAW, as I do, adjust WB in post-processing.

Well guys, on the plus side, the shoot went well, but By the time we finished up, it was too late to see the museum. :(
As I said earlier, I only live 85 miles from there so I'm going to have to take a Sunday and drive down, that way I can spend the whole day there.
Thanks to everyone for their input and suggestions.

I live about an hour north of New Orleans and I have never been there. That would be a great way to get some hands on time to learn how to take photos.

That is a good idea, but I think that our work schedules and days off don't agree.

This museum is awesome. It has several sections. In the old main building you have an open atrium with several exhibits. The galleries above covering the war in Europe and Asia are dimly lit. There are some galleries posted as no Flash. In the other building across the street you have a dinning room and theater with a great show. Behind these is an open gallery with displays on the main floor and several airplanes suspended from the cieling. You can view them from the main floor or on viewing galleries above. I am sure you will have a good time there.
