Default Star Wars & Mechanical
Taken at Scienceworks Museum. I really like the first 2 but can't stop the reflections from the glass cabinets they were shown in. EXIF for the Tie Fighter is f/5, Exposure 1/4, ISO 600, bias 0 at 18mm. EXIF for Yoda is f/4.5, Exposure 1/6, ISO 1600, bias 0 at 33mm and the Mechanical EXIF is f/8, Exposure 1/3, ISO 1600, bias 0 at 34 mm.

I see what you mean about the reflections. Nice second shot.

I'm jealous. I wish they had a star wars exhibit here in Oklahoma. They are great shots.

I love the Yoda shot..

Have you tried using a Circular Polariser? That can help to reduce reflections from non-metallic surfaces.
