Apollo X Command Module

South Kensington, London, UK

This relic of the massive monsters that were the Saturn V moon rockets can be found in the Science Museum in London. http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/

Note the exif data, it quite suprised me, but then I have post-processed this one.

Konica-Minolta DiMAGE A200
1/10s f/2.8 at 7.2mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Chris,

I like the textures and details on teh outside on the capsule. Only issues I guess are the whitebalance and it would have been great had the people in the background been a bit closer and looked at the capsule. But you can't have everything.
Have you tried in B&W? It might bring out the details even further and "fix" the whitebalance, then again it probably also brings out the noise more.

Nice Image!
Martin

Chris,
Great shot! It's unusual with a range of interesting geometries and textures on the capsule.
Brave of you to go for high ISO, but it has worked well.
I had a go with the colour balance (e.g. by making the ceiling at top-left or foreground at bottom-right a neutral white) and this brings out even more detail, but also more noise.
I'd really like to have a go on a full-size version with neatimage - could you let me have a copy?
Thanks,
Mike.

Looks an interesting place to visit - had a look at the link, there seems so much to see there. Good example and nice shot.
