This is my third post from our visit to the Blists
Hill Victorian museum. There are ten different museums located within a five mile radius
of the main museum. One ticket allows entry to them all.
There is something very raw and beautiful about
looking at very early photography. The strong contrasts, short on half tones with blown-out highlights. The fixed poses of the people, with very stern
faces, along with that slightly soft-focus look & a small amount of
movement in their pose. All of this was due to the limitations of their
equipment & materials. I was trying to get this effect with my modern gear.
I have three other posts from this visit, they can be seen Blists Hill People 1
and Blists Hill Buildings. and Blists Hill in Colour
For me this first shot captures the Victorian pose, thanks to the person knowing exactly what was needed.
