Daily Photo – Landing in the Air & Space Museum

I love this place! This was about the only place I was allowed to use my tripod (on the outside), so I spent a bit of time hunting about for best ways to capture the amazing building.

I sent the Air and Space Museum a tweet to ask if I could use my tripod.  They responded and sent me to a FAQ.  I didn’t even have to go to the FAQ to know what it should say.  I think, frankly, it would have just been easier if they had tweeted back a “no”.

So, as you can see in the collection below, I did the best I could with a few handheld HDRs.

There are a few handheld tricks I employ:

• Lock your elbows inward, on top of your abdomen.
• Hold your breath like a sniper
• Increase your ISO so it takes the multiple exposures as fast as possible
• Pray

The following photos were all previously published here on the site, but I thought it might be fun to put them all here in the same post.
