Cartier

On Tuesday I managed to get out to the Cartier exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia. They're wonderful about allowing photos, though it proved quite a challenge. The pieces were mostly on dark backgrounds under bright lights. It does a wonderful job of showing off the sparkle of the diamonds, but tended to make things overexposed. And hello lens flare! Plus, reflections were a bit of an issue.

Nevertheless, I soldiered on and got some decent shots.

The sapphire above was 478 carats.
