Silence of the Lambs - Day 322 of Project 365
04/07/09
The Banksy exhibition at the Bristol museum was well worth the trip, and not only that but I got to meet some nice fellow flickr people ;)
This stuffed lamb was one of the many "out of place" exhibit items that were dotted around the museum. "Out of place" is probably not the right phrase to use to describe the items, as I think a large part of the exhibition may have been to try and break down the perceived pretentious nature of museums and art galleries in general.
I assumed that this was a "Silence of the Lambs" style joke (although I could be wrong) but I'd have put metal strips over the end of the muzzle to finish he effect ;)
This was taken with Tyla'75's Canon 17-40mm lens, and as her 365 photo was taken with my 16mm fisheye I thought it was only fair to return the favour and post a shot that I took using her lens... I think I got the better end of the (temporary) swap.
Lightroom: slight crop and rotate, white balance to white card in the foreground, auto levels, tweak brightness contrast and curves to pick out the lamb from the background. sharpen save to JPG.
