First Time Using a Platypod eXtreme In a Museum


After weeks of trying to figure out how to best capture photos of a Tyrannosaurus rex (one of the most ferocious predators to ever walk the earth) at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia using a Platypod eXtreme, I ventured out to the museum on the coldest day of this winter season.

With the blistering windy weather outside, as expected, the museum was almost empty. Not to mention that it was the day after Thanksgiving. Lots of families are still relaxing from the Thanksgiving holiday, getting ready for Black Friday and starting early Christmas preparations.

Having the museum practically all by myself has its benefits. Like taking my time finding the best composition to make Tyrannosaurus rex more impactful without having to worry about families pushing strollers in front of my camera. Especially when I am trying to capture low-angle ground level photos. Thankfully, I was able to work the scene and took as many pictures as I could, while experimenting with multiple compositions of the same T-Rex. 

Not bad for being the first time using the Platypod eXtreme in a museum. At the end, I was very pleased with the final result.
