Back at HMNS for this round… a few shots with the Panaleica from the Quetzalcoatlus preview.
This was a members’ preview of the new Paleontology hall, which is slated to open sometime next year. This will be one of several REALLY cool things on exhibit. Tonight, though, it* gets top billing as a solo act, and when you’re a star, not only do they throw parties for you, but people also line up to get their pictures taken with your wings around them. It’s a great life — as long as you don’t have to be alive for it….
It’s excessively hot again. Get a tripod and go shoot long exposures during the night.
* I didn’t ask if this was a male or a female. It really didn’t seem terrifically important any more.
