With my standard lens, I would only be able to capture a portion of the lobby entrance to the California Academy of Sciences Museum in San Francisco. I could not show you the "whole picture" or its enormity.
As a newly remodeled building, the floor-to-ceiling windows allows in more natural lighting for energy efficiency.
In general, I think people prefer luminous surroundings than a dreary and dark setting.
What do you think?

The Academy of Sciences is the world first 'green' museum and of course a magnificent architecturally built building. There is so much to see and learn that everyone should visit it in person.
ReplyDeleteA dining area with natural and bright lighting is definitely better than a dimmed area. Hope you had a wonderful time at the academy!
I wish I have a wider angle lens. There's a new Canon 15-85mm.
ReplyDeleteI thought Canon 15-85mm is a standard lens.
ReplyDeleteIt comes together with any Canon camera.
Rose Belle: I did enjoy the museum immensely. It is quite different than the old museum although there were a few exhibits I remembered as a kid.
ReplyDeleteMei Teng: Yes, go get it. :)
Rainfield61: You are correct, there is the 15-85mm lens, but I don't have one as my standard lens.
Hai, watching picture in your blog post give me new energy to start monday morning
ReplyDeleteThat is a great angle with the DeYoung in the background. That dining area is huge and with the glass and natural lighting it looks even brighter.

No gloomy setting for me. Also I like to see what I'm eating.
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean about the lenses.
I think I agree, bright and cheery is always the way to go.
