Description
The elephant in the main atrium of the Smithsonian natural history museum, ca. 1997. It was taken with my father's 1980 era Canon AE-1 35mm camera and the kit 50mm lens. I was bracing myself against a column, hence the fuzz on the right.
Whenever I complain about how badly a digital shot came out, I look back at all my dark and blurry film photos, and am amazed we lived with it for so long. Say what they want, film is history.

nice work :-)
Huge Elephant.... Excellent. Aloha
Nice shot - somewhat surreal...
I remember this also, sure is a great place to spend a day, or more likely, A couple of days. Thanks for the memories.
Excellent Shot. I was there recently and tried to get the same shot! Being a dark gallery, it is very difficult to get a good shot of the elephant!
Wowwww, very impressiv !!!! Excellent picture and colour!!! Good day ;)
Very interesting ! My first thought was : "Oh, there is someone else uploading pictures from Lille..." (see HERE ! ) :~)
Ah yes, film.... what were we thinking??? Well, we didn't have any alternatives, now did we? Anyway - great capture! 8;o)
Awesome job of focusing on the exhibit
