other Hindu Deities
28mm, 1/40 @ f/2

Shot hand-held with the D1h and 28mm f/1.4D, 45mm f/2.8P and 85mm f/1.4D

The Norton Simon Museum is a small but very comprehensive museum in Old Pasadena.
The upper floor is primarily paintings (with some sculpture) and is fairly-well lit. The lower
floor is Southeast Asian sculpture primarily, and is lit like a cave in most areas. The outer
grounds offer a collection of Rodin sculptures, the inner courtyard has a pond and garden.

The Norton Simon Museum offers some beautiful art and a tremendously challenging shoot.
