Description
...back on 1-3 March I posted three photos showing museum lighting in the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.
...today's upload is a shot of the main gallery of the Boeing Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington. Plenty of light in here but with so much outside light streaming in...I had some challenges with sunlight washing out the backgrounds of some photos near the windows.
...here's a link here for those of you who would like to see a little more of this museum and its contents... Click Here.

This is a superb shot Bill, just the right height for this overview.

It's probably little surprise, but I LOVE a shot like this. It's a place I've never visited, so I love having the chance to get a good look. Thanks Bill. P.S. I see Clint Eastwood still hasn't given FIREFOX back!!!!!!

I reluctantly admit it does look quite interesting! A super shot.

I agree with Andrea, must be interesting to go round!!

Thanks for posting this, Bill. The LearAvia intrigued me - I found that by searching Wikipedia with the aircraft nunber (N626BL) they had a good article. BTW, is that a DC-3 (in its many designations) behind the LearAvia?

Stunning image with so much to see Bill. What really caught my eye is the red car. Is it one of those flying cars that a number of makers experimented with from the late 40' to the 70's. If so do you know what make?

Cool shot.

That is such a great room. I bet it presents special challenges for the folks who do the lighting, but having those window walls is pretty spectacular. Excellent shot!

Natural lighting is a lot cheaper, I'm sure; maybe by shooting in there at night it would be easier to control the light? It's lovely, coming through all that glass, and this shot is certainly most excellent!

Well done - what a great place, they have an amazing collection.

Well Bill, it looks like you've got yourself a thesis to write, considering all the requests concerning all the objects in this photo. And, I must say, excellent work with this extremely difficult subject - as you say, the lighting. And wide angle, to boot! The most challenging must have been the SR-71. I enjoy seeing the flying car again. I remember when it was touted as the next great thing in transportation technology. Considering all the drivers who can't behave ON the road, imagine having them LANDING on the road, er, hopefully! I expect you have more photos of this, ready to post. Keep up the good work! :-)

Wonderful natural lighting as well as a great POV of this awesome museum Bill!!

Cool clarity and lighting effects on display in this fine foto, Bill. I immediately recognized the SR-71 Blackbird, but some of those others I'll have to research out. BTW, there is a museum setting on my Pentax SLR, but I haven't used it yet.

Great capture Bill. Everything seems to be surrounding the SR-71!

What an amazing assortment of flying machines! This is superb, Bill! I really love the lighting - it almost looks as if they're all flying in formation together! Although I doubt the biplanes would be ahead of that Blackbird!
nikolais
wish I could see something like this in Russia.. great image, Bill!
danapommet
A beautiful room to show off that Blackbird plus all the other planes!

Museum lighting is always challenging. I visited the Museum of Flight on a sunny day and there was no way to avoid checkerboard shadow pattern from the skylight. Glad to see the M-21 Blackbird (an A-12 variant) up on pedistals. A very cool way to see the underside and keep the tires in good shape.
