Today I attended Canon's press conference at the American Museum of Natural History, where the astounding Canon S90 and its cousin the G11 were first shown to the world. After the press conference, we scoped out the Hayden Planetarium, to which my Dad had taken me years ago.
Sphere, Hayden Planetarium, American Museum of Natural History, 1:38 PM.
Saturn and Friends, Hayden Planetarium, American Museum of Natural History, 1:40 PM. After the planetarium, we went to see the American Museum of Natural History. The American Museum of Natural History is extraordinary. It takes a week to see everything. We only spent a few hours, and couldn't even hit the highlights. If you visit New York, leave at least a full day to enjoy the museum.
Big Animals, American Museum of Natural History, 2:49 PM.
Squirrel, American Museum of Natural History, 2:56 PM. Why risk certain death climbing trees and waiting for squirrels, when you can seen them in the museum, complete with good lighting?
Dinosaur, American Museum of Natural History, 3:10 PM. As kids, we all went to the museum and loved the dinosaurs!
Some Kind of Monkey, American Museum of Natural History, 3:55 PM.
Member of a Preliterate Society, American Museum of Natural History, 4:09 PM.
Scary Bug, American Museum of Natural History, 4:19 PM.
Big Blue Whale, American Museum of Natural History, 4:25 PM. It was really dark in this hall. The Canon SD960 IS pulled ISO 400 in Auto ISO, and still needed 1/2 a second at f/2.8. The whale was still very dark, so I dodged (lightened) it with a curves adjustment layer mask in Photoshop, deliberately wanting it to look almost as if it's glowing. After the museum, we rushed back to Adorama to see the store again.
