The staircase from yesterday was in the far end of this room (behind the shot). This is Trinity College's long room library. It was a big room but VERY dark inside - way darker than I was expecting. I didn't have a tripod and there were a lot of distracting signs in the foreground that I've cropped out so the image really doesn't do the space justice. I was very excited to visit but I have to say the place did not live up to my expectations. The florescent tube lightbulbs just didn't seem right and it was so hard to get a shot without getting them too!
They went to all the trouble and expense to build this impressive place then put in fluorescent lights? That’s terrible. It looks like such a grand library.
Amazing room and so many books the fluorescent lighting does give a lot of light onto the books and does not create shadows might be one reason for them.
You have really captured the majesty of this library. The ladders on the second floor really give perspective as far as the size of the space. This is really impressive! Fav
