In the museum

Taken at Bletchley Park yesterday.The weather wasn't very good but we wanted to get out for a while and Bletchley's always worth a visit.

The statue in the foreground is of Alan Turing :

I've posted a photo of it before, it's a piece of art I love : http://365project.org/dulciknit/365/2012-08-05
It's wonderful!

That is gorgeous. The DoF is perfect.

Nice composition. A trip to Bletchley is on my list for this year. I've been once but that was before they had the big lottery grant and before I had my children. Think we'd all enjoy a trip back.

@rachelwithey Thank you, Rachel. They are in the middle of building a new visitor centre at the moment and the grounds are in a bit of a mess. The visitor centre is due to open is June.

Love the composition & DoF, those real people on the background are brilliant detail.
January 19th, 2014  
Very impressive !!!

Excellent dof, lovely shot

DOF is perfect! Lovely to see your pictures again!

Very cool, you made this statue even more life life with the people in the shot

A lovely statue of the man, and beautifully shot. A shame he didn't get the recognition he deserved in life.
January 19th, 2014  
Wonderful shot!

Super composition - love the great detail of the statue against the blur of the background - having the two people there was excellent for contrast.

Wonderful textures and dof great capture

Wonderful shot. Great dof.

Fabulous detail of the statue's textures and excellent DOF. So well captured, Alison.

I'm liking the mirrored poses of the statue and people's heads...great image, Alison :)
January 20th, 2014  
Lovely....great lighting and textures. Love the POV. great background images also.
January 20th, 2014  
Great composition, I like your dof here, perfect!

I like both shots Alison, but this one is brilliantly composed and is a fav. Bletchley Park is on our list, Ben would love it. I also want to travel on the railway from Bedford. Turing deserves his place in history, but the persecution he received after he war is to our eternal shame, even though times were different. I hope you don't mind me saying so?

@seanoneill Thank you, Sean. No, I don't mind in the slightest.
January 20th, 2014  
Both lovely shots. Would love to have the talent to create something so beautiful. Like the composition with main focus on the statue on one side with the lighting highlighting the textures in the statue, his head leaning forward and the visitors in the background leaning forward over the display case in opposite direction.

Very cool capture. Love the depth of field in this. Of course you could not really go wrong with the texture given the nature of the depth of darkness in the piece. Anyway, a great interpretation. Nicely done.

However, what really makes it for me is the pallet. I like the colour pallet. The russets, reds, purples and greys are very complementary. The woman's top really pulls it all together. Nice work.

I really must get to Bletchly one day. I really admire what went on there and have read a lot on it. So must go.

Hope you are well.

I like this one the best too. Love the texture and the capture of him seemingly looking intently down, almost thinking. The people in the background also looking adds to the feel of interest in the subject.

So interesting to read about this fellow! Good he has now been recognised! Unusual stone in the statue!
January 25th, 2014  
Wowy pic! FAV! Love this comp. Great art in the front and lovely dof ;)

Great shot, and very poignant. Treated terribly this fellow should be better known!

I immediate thought of Bletchley even before I read the caption. What a detailed and amazing sculpture. It looks like it is composed of mechanical typewriter arms (or whatever they are called)

What a great shot, I love the contrasts
February 7th, 2014  
Very cleverly composed!
