Alex's house - his parents collect artwork and antiques and things :)

Did you use the flash for this? I would try it with secondary,artificial light! You would be surprised what difference it makes! Particularly with a nice set of pictures like this!

But I maybe am taking coals to Newcastle here?

@maggiemae I didn't use any flash - the vignette-like appearance was caused by the downlights on the ceiling; one of them is purposefully angled onto the paintings to create a spotlight-like effect - I wanted to preserve that, hence why I didn't supplement the photo with other light sources :)

Wow... how cool are they.

@maggiemae Also that (annoying) shadow on the left is being cast by a support beam that happens to be in the middle of the room! Actually quite a beautiful piece of timber, suits the room really well, just mildly inconvenient when taking photos of the wall using only the downlights. xD

Great collection on the wall - had a little giggle about the beam - photographer's needs are never part of any construction consideration. xx

@aurorajane I know right! So inconsiderate! :P

[Alex]

Good shots!
