Museums in Quimper

Hello all, here's - yet again - another round of museum images. Still the kind of place I love hanging around in with a camera... These are from the two important museums in Quimper, Brittany, the 'Musée Départemental' and the 'Musée des Beaux-arts'. Both well worth a visit if you get the chance!

Thoughts welcome...

Cracking set, 4 and 7 are my favourites.

(possibly because the design emblems of 4/5 remind me of paw prints

Much appreciated Peter (although I do wonder if Rio hasn't usurped your account ).

Woof woof !

Super set and some great takes on museum photography.

Unless you've actually tried to take photo's in these sort of conditions I'm not sure how many of us would appreciate how difficult it is. My attempts have usually been focussed around reducing the visibility of distracting backgrounds, foreground glass, reflections and harsh lighting - you take the opposite approach and incorporate the setting along with the "subject" - it's a refreshing view producing some super shots, I do enjoy your alternative world Serge

Well said, LennyBloke, I was thinking the same thing having just been to Scotland's Secret Bunker. Reflections, neon lights, as well as purple lighting, (seriously). All a challenge. These pictures are impressive given the conditions.

Thanks Kris, LennyB, Kevin. I definitely have two minds going on at the same time in museums - one for taking in the art itself, and one for photography. That one certainly thrives on all the 'obstacles' and 'distracting' backgrounds.

7 - There's the shot!

As always, love the depth to your black and white images
