Why Can't You Use Flash Photography In Museums and Art Galleries?

So you are in a museum or an art gallery. Or some other similar place. It is lovely and quiet, with nice low-level lighting and local lights highlighting all those fantastic exhibits. The whole place has been carefully designed with a bespoke lighting scheme.

And you see something really cool that you would love to photograph. What do you do?

Look is what you so—no more. Do not take a photo. Do not start popping your flash gun. Or the flash-type thing on your phone. 

And in this very ranty episode, I tell you

• Why you should not use your flash in an art gallery or museum
• Why is using flash a waste of time anyway?
• I ask why everyone is photographing the same thing at the same time.
• Why you should stop taking photos of everything
• An alternative plan to stop this nonsense

I also tell you

• What if you use a phone to take photos (just look)
• What I do

All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in (much) less than 27 (ish) minutes!

What is not to love? How utterly splendid.
