COSI Museum

kygarden

This is a science and industry museum in Columbus, OH. From the looks of it, I'd say it's mostly just for kids. It's a nice place though even for adults.

All with Nikon D700 and Tamron 28-75. Camera set to Auto-ISO set to max out at 6400, which it did in some of the darker lit shots you see here (the first shot of Neptune for example).

I'm electric :-)

They had a few indoor 'towns' to show how technology changed over time. Here are a few photos from those areas of the museum.

Apparently the breaking news my young news reporter had to share with the audience was a little shocking (see the look on his face?)...

Since he was on the air though, he remained professional and did a good job ;-)

He was happy to see they had a kid-sized sink to wash his hands in.

And finally, they had a large area with things related to water and the ocean. Here's a very cool (and LARGE) Neptune (I guess that's Neptune). You can spray water in this area. Next photo shows the spraying better.

Very nice. I see you shoot a D700...were these taken with that camera?

Thanks Ed. Yes, this was with the D700 and a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens. Camera on auto-iso set to max out at 6400. Mostly aperture priority at f4 or so.
