About the Image(s)
On our recent trip to Ireland we went to the Book of Kells
and the Old Library at Trinity College in Dublin. Most of the volumes on the shelves are 100's of years old and include the book of Kells written 500 or more years ago. Unfortunately most of the books have been taken off the shelves for restoration. Shot with a Sony a7IV with a 17-28mm
2.8 lens set at 25mm. Settings were 1/125 @f2.8 and ISO 4000.

Eric, what a big library! The image is sharp, good colors. The world sphere adds to the DOF. What is the Book of Kells?   Posted: 07/12/2024 14:44:53

Ruth,
The Book of Kells is a world-renowned illuminated manuscript that illustrates the four Gospels of the Bible with stunning attention to detail.

Great photo and composition. I like the clarity. Was this "out of camera" or did you do some work in post?   Posted: 07/19/2024 01:00:42

Love the photo Eric! It has HDR (high dynamic range) feel to it. Love the color and clarity. Really good angle and perspective.   Posted: 07/19/2024 05:47:36
