Blackburn Museum trip

Blackburn Museum trip 

On the 19th of October we had an organised trip to the Blackburn museum to help us with out objects brief. We were given a tour of the museum and was encouraged to take as many photographs of the historical objects as we could. To some of the students the historical objects that were on display wasn't an interest to them so they asked the museum employee Steve Irwin if they could look at any other objects that would be to their interest and to their surprise they was shown into the 'backstage' area where all the other objects where kept. Although I did take some photographs at the museum they weren't really to my taste or my interest and if i was to go back to Blackburn museum to look further into historical objects I think I would ask to see something more to my taste. Since the trip to Blackburn museum I have also thought about having a look around the Harris museum in Preston as its more convenient for me. 

These were one of the objects that caught my eye, As I thought it would be interesting to photograph the object on different angles as I have done here. This gave me the idea of photographing objects from your childhood which is a personal thing I would really like to do for one of the objects briefs. 

Again I look at the idea of photographing old books, and different ways of displaying them. 

Another Idea I had was for the set design, to photograph objects inside an old book with torn out pages, I think that would be interesting. 

These caught my eye as soon as I entered the 2nd floor , I find insects and their natural shapes interesting  , my Granddad collects insects in glass boxes just like these so I have been used to seeing them from a young age, It would be an interesting object to use , especially for macro.
