\"Reid<\/a><\/p>\n

In the last couple of weeks I have been out to visit both the Reid Musical Instrument Museum and St. Cecilia’s Music Hall to document the buildings prior to a makeover.<\/p>\n

The Reid is a particularly challenging location for a photographer: tight spaces with mixed lighting and tall glass cabinets lining the walls and centre of the room. Reflections everywhere. It turns out that this was not a good day to wear my new white top! <\/p>\n

After de-cluttering the room as much as possible and squeezing the camera as far into the corner as I could, I fitted a polarising filter to the wide angle lens to minimise the reflections, set the camera onto the self-timer and ran away to hide well out of the shot.<\/p>\n

St. Cecilia’s was more about emphasising the fine architectural details, symmetry and elegance of the oldest Concert Hall in Scotland. However, once again the lighting created some challenges- here I had to shade the camera lens to prevent the spotlights creating unwanted lens flare.<\/p>\n
