Barrels

Because this is a photo blog, I thought that I would publish the metadata for some of the shots from time to time. The Sony A100 has a built -in anti- shake mechanism that gives you 2 to 3 stops of shake protection. This shot was taken at 1/25th sec. but as far as holding the camera steady was concerned, it was the equivalent of 100th sec. This also gives a great advantage when using my 500mm telephoto lens which is only f/6.3

Another exhibit in the Frankfurt Museum of Modern Art. The items on the back wall are part of this exhibit. I've just realized that now while I am posting this. They have given over one large room to this work. I hadn't time to study it in detail but there is a story behind it, as the barrels are half filled with seemingly worthless American share certificates. There is a lot of empty space in this museum; vast rooms and galleries given over to one or two small exhibits.
