The Paul Hamlyn Library

12:50 GMT.

Ghost?

Sign that says: No Photography!! Just kidding! ;P

Anyone who visits the British Museum in London is likely to enter the Reading Room. What few realise is that the library hosted there is called the "Paul Hamlyn Library" after the British philanthropist and publisher.

The actual Reading Room was designed by Sydney Smirke and completed in 1857.

This is a 3 exposure hand-held HDR shot. Best viewed large.

Note to self: get a wide-angle lens.

I've taken a couple of "photos of this place, but photos can never recreate the feeling of actually being there. My mother-in-law almost cried when she walked into the room. Having said that - terrific job, especially handheld. You must have very steady hands!

clever and constrained use of HDR. Impresive.
