I visited the exhibition of our photographs at Swadlincote Civic Centre  today. Below are some images from there.



Part of the poster explaining the exhibition.




Two photographs on display.




One of my images - unfortunately full of glare.



The second image, also full of glare.

The photographs were displayed in the entrance foyer, up the stairs and on the first floor landing. It is far from apparent from my poor flash photography, but the  lighting was quite subdued, and this for me highlighted how important lighting is for an exhibition. Colours appeared muted, and the black and white photos were often difficult to see. Positioning and lighting within a room are very important when displaying an image in any setting; for an image that is treasured the use of anti-reflective glass is expensive but probably worth while.

  1. Glad you were able to make it. Agree with what you say about lighting. Any form of glass would also be preferable to perspex, but as you say would impact greatly on cost.
