Here is a Skydrive <link
> to about 300 pics I recently shot in the Tibbles Miniatures building <info link
> of the Ringling Museum <wiki link
>.
Skydrive is sometimes unavailable - if so, just try back another time. I live about 4 miles from the museum grounds and visit it regularly. This trip was with my 40/2.8 set on 1/40, auto-ISO. The photos are not "top-notch" quality due mostly to the auto-ISO only going to a minimum level - which gave DOF problems with many of the shots. The lighting sometimes cycled to give an impression of the circus at night - I've lightened some of those to show better detail. And I've also sharpened all the pics.
Still, I think the shots give a good impression of this amazing work. I only use Skydrive for temporary sharing, so this work will be removed after about a month. I'm planning to go back with my 28/1.8 and 85/1.8 to explore better DOF for a selection of shots. I originally chose the 40mm for an "eyeball-size" FOV to approximate reality of the experience.
Here's one shot of inside of one of the tents:
