Museum Visit

This week we had a trip to Blackburn museum which was more interesting that excepted. They had many historical artefacts these included Egyptian, Victorian, coins, books and manuscripts. My favourite part of the trip was seeing the Egyptian part as I found this extremely fascinating . We were shown round the museum by Steve Irwin who was very helpful. I thought they were very considerate towards photographer as they asked us many times it were wanted to see any thing out of the cabinets.
Within this trip I took many pictures which I will am going to talk about and also use for part of my objects brief.

Textiles

I took these when I first arrived at the museum they had a full section on texture. These images I have captured arn't fantastic shots but it clearly shows the detail of the machine and what hard work they went to make these very detailed piece of equipment.

War
I took these images in front a large glass cabinet and had to improve the quality in lightroom as the light bounced back. I am still quite pleased the way they turned out.
 

 

Old fashion toys

When looking around the museum I came across some old fashion toys. Although times have change the idea hasn’t just the quality and look have been altered.

These are the same kind of toy just from to different times.



Pottery
The museum had a wide variety of pottery from different eras. These I have taken are from Egyptian and the war.

The Egyptian pottery isn’t as clear what they were actually use these for but in fact they used these for drinking, eating and storing.

These pot from the war are much more clear what they would be used for as they look quite similar to today.

Book and manuscripts
This part of the museum the flash had to be turned off because it would effect the objects and the room was quite dark so I didn’t take many images in this part but I did find it to be very intriguing.

Contact sheet
I have created a contact sheet of some the images I had taken on the day.
