Don't Mess with Us! by taffy

Don't Mess with Us!

Not sure if this is strictly low-light -- it was indoors but there was some natural light coming through. I upped the ISO to 800 and leaned against the wall to hold steady at 1/10 second at f5.6 as that is as wide as my lens went at the telephoto length I was using. This was taken at the Oriental Institute Museum at University of Chicago.
Excellent!

Lovely detail, and I like the other one in the background.

It looks very Egyptian but as you say, Oriental, might be and Egyptian Oriental breed of lion! Good composition to show the other one in the back!

Turned out very well! The two figures, one front and one back, echoing each other, makes for a powerful composition. Fav.

@maggiemae I wonder when the university will change the name of the institute to more appropriately capture what the focus is on. This had exhibits from the Middle East on the main floor, but I didn't go through the rest of the museum.

Would not want this sculpture in my home. The tricks we try when we don't have the equipment we want. Well done.

Lovely b&w image, nice DoF and comp

Fierce! I like the DOF and the symmetry of the composition, one mirroring another.
November 15th, 2015  
Love the fainter echo behind - fav.

@bernicrumb Thanks Berni. I really liked the way these served as the railings for the stairway, but maintained a really strong personality that popped as I walked into the museum.

So much strength. Beautifully captured and processed.

@rosiekerr Thanks -- that was the idea I had, to use the background one as the 'shadow' of the main one. Welcome home!
