DescriptionSolomon R. Guggenheim Art Museum, New York City, Looking Like a Chambered Nautilus.jpg
English: To me, the Guggenheim Art Museum in New York City is one of the most eccentric, but still old school architectural delights -- on the inside, sexy, curvaceous, seductive, but still highly intellectual; on the outside almost as dorky as a Devo Energy Dome.
Although, the Guggenheim allows photography in the lobby, they do not want you to use a tripod.
Photographed using one of the earliest twist-out, live-action, LED viewfinder screens in a digital camera, the Konica-Minolta Dimage A200.
It also had autofocus and a 2 second delay setting so you could actually set the camera on a bench or floor, see the LCD screen clearly without having to lay on the floor with the camera, frame the picture using a manual zoom lens (precise), and dial in the exposure by how the image looks in the LCD screen, hit the exposure button, let it alone, and in 2 seconds, without any camera vibration, it autofocuses flawlessly and it can do 4 second exposures with no blur.
Invaluable in dark but wonderful cathedrals all across Europe. In this case, perfect for a quick, but perfectly framed shot, before my time was up in the lobby.
