Belem stands at the mouth of the Tagus River, about four miles outside of Lisbon itself. One of its most popular attractions is the National Coach Museum, containing perhaps the finest collection of royal coaches in Europe. Among the most lavish are the huge coaches, including this one, made in Rome for the Portuguese ambassador to the Vatican. I did not want to photograph the entire coach, between then I would minimize the fantastic details that decorate it. Those details are what make this coach worth visiting, studying, and thinking about. It was very dark inside the museum, and neither flash nor tripods are allowed. (I never use either in my travel photography.) I was able to make this remarkable study of the incredible Baroque detail by handholding my camera set at ISO 200, using a very slow shutter speed of 1/6th of a second. Using my camera’s continuous shooting mode, I only had to press the shutter button once, and just held it down. The first shot was blurred, but the following shots were amazingly sharp, because there was no “shutter squeeze” needed to make them. When looking at this image on my LCD screen, I could see details that I simply could not see with my own eyes in that dark museum. Such is the power of digital imaging.
