These are selected images from a visit to the Brooklyn Museum. They are all from the iPhone 4S, reduced from 3264 x 2448 px to 1600 x 1200 px.

I didn’t bring a camera with me on this outing, relying solely on the super-wide iPhone camera.

Museums can be a great venue for creative photography if one approaches it from the right perspective. Tight crops of two and three-dimensional artwork can yield beautiful images and avoid the inevitable reflections in glass cases. A black iPhone with a black case or bumper can help to camouflage itself, especially if held close to the glass.
