Description
We all know: Photography is the art, science and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation.
...this is the first in a series of images featuring lighting in the National Museum of the US Air Force...the way it illuminates, highlights, casts shadows and even twinkles.

Well captued, Bill! Museum lighting typically is not terribly photographer-friendly, but you seem to have mastered it - this is wonderful! Sharp, clear, and full of delightful reflections! Super shot, Bill!
Very cool idea Bill, great shot!
I see what you mean about the shadows. They are well staged and yet it does not look over crowded.
I know I'm skipping back---I'll get to the others in the coming weeks---but I wanted to get to these two, because they were so impressive when I first saw them. First, I've often felt that you're a master of museum capture, with all its mysterious light and shadow and cloistered glow...But this is more than a capture of that magnificent golden light: This is a wonderful capture in its own right. You've got at least two if not three or more planes, and they all seem to be seen through the open space beneath one. It's plane inside plane inside plane, so to speak...and the result is a collision, a kind of downtown visual collision of plane forms, wonderfully contrasting and counterpointing each other as we go back; and surrounded by deep darkness in and above the planes. The light is wonderful, its flares are dramatic, and the sweeps---for an enclosed space---are wonderfully open. I just love this shot. A fav for this and the next ones, they're about light but also about the forms that illuminate the darkness. Only a person who loves planes could capture these with such love of their forms. Familiar to you and other plane lovers; revelatory for the rest of us. Love it.
