Märkisches Museum Berlin

Yesterday I visited the Märkisches Museum ( take the UBahn-Linie U2 and get off the station named therafter). Apart from the pictures of the British amateur photographer Cecil F.S. Newman (exhibition running until October 25th) of the destroyed and war ridden Berlin in 1945/46 l (what could those people do with a Leica, a 50mm lens and Kodak film back then!) the museum itself (presenting the local history of Berlin) is a hidden marvel. I have to be back with a tripod and one my high resolution Sony A7’s. Yesterday I was using the A7s with my Zeiss FE 4/ 24-70mm. Still , I think, resolution isn’t a problem with that combo. The size of that figurine of Immanuel Kant is just about 12 cm (5 inches). Resolution wasn’t the problem, though. This guy was under glass – I didn’t have a polarizer filter. So the job demanded quite a lot of photographers legwork to get the light where and and how I wanted it to be.. Thanks  to God ; I could circle the darn’ thing while working the shutter…
