No longer a newbie, moving up!
I recently toured some art galleries here in Connecticut. The first two were the Yale Center for British Art and the Yale University Art Gallery. They are located across the street from one another. The Center for British Art is the largest and most comprehensive collection outside of the UK. A very impressive collection of paintings ranging back to the 1300’s. The architecture is stunning on the inside. The Art Gallery was also impressive. They had some old things as well as some modern art. Both of these places encourage me to take ‘as many as I want” in regards to pictures. No flash rule was in effect so it was a little difficult to get the proper exposures. All of these are handheld with my D70s or Coolpix 8400. The Yale Campus is full of wonderful buildings, stores and people. It is right downtown in New Haven.
I also visited the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut. Totally different feel on the photography here. There were several restrictions, including the Colt Firearm Exhibit and I had to sign a paper saying it was only for hobby purposes. I read the full-page document and it didn’t say I couldn’t post them on the Internet.
I had a nice afternoon in the galleries.
#One
#Two
#Three
#Four (14 th. century painting)
#Five (from the Wadsworth)
#Six (from the Wadsworth)
Since I am not working right now I had time to try a couple of abstracts.
#Seven: This is inspired by a piece I saw at Yale. Only that one was a lot better.
#Eight: Not sure what I was thinking :er: :er:
