This acquisition [link] , Maman (Mother, 1999) by then 86 year-old Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010), [link] is one of a group of eight spiders around the world, also including Paris, Tokyo and of course, the Tate gallery in London, UK. It's the latest addition to the National Gallery of Canada [link] or [link] and is part of their permanent collection.
It's amazing how kids embrace this sculpture. Me? I get the willies since it reminds me of an old black and white horror movie that played on TV when I was a kid, called The Incredible Shrinking Man
Shutter Speed: 10/16000 second F Number: F/6.3 Focal Length: 18 mm Keep in mind that 18mm on a digital isn't as true as an 18mm on a film camera. My 18mm Sigma lens that I use for a Canon AE-1 is far more pronounced because it's mechanically accurate. Nikon compensates with a wider digital sensor than a 35mm film plane would be. It's not as wide as I'd like it to be. Compare the Mother shot with these [link][link][link]
There's a marked difference in what I like to call "oomph!"
This is one of my favourite locations in Ottawa and visit at least 3 times a year.
Did you use a wide angle lens on this?
Cheers
