A Mastodon (well, maybe a Mammoth) skeleton at the La Brea Tar Pits Museum.
The framing could have been better (would have liked to see the feet) but I didn't have too much choice; I had to prop up the Brownie on a nearby display case.
The exposure came out just right, and I'm pleased with that. I used a light meter app on my phone and an exposure time cheat sheet I carry around, generated by a python script, and the results said I needed a 5sec exposure. I was a bit surprised because it really didn't seem that dark. I guess museums keep the lighting dim to protect artifacts, and your eyes adjust, so you're not aware how little light there really is. Anyway, 5sec (well, 5 Mississippis) turned out to be exactly right. Yay science!
That's all the film shots from this trip that are worth sharing. Next time I am absolutely going to get one of Randy's Donuts.
