Architecture: Musée Hergé

The Hergé museum is located in Louvain-la-Neuve, and was designed by Atelier Christian de Portzamparc. Built in 2009, the building houses both a permanent as well as temporary exhibitions, displaying a comprehensive collection of sources from and related to the work of cartoonist Georges Remi, aka Hergé. More info can be obtained here: http://www.museeherge.com/en I visited the site as part of a trip to Leuven, so there was obviously no time to do the building justice, photographically - that can only be done through multiple visits. A such, I feel I barely scratched the surface: there are a lot more details to be shot, more camera standpoints to be explored, and as we didn't actually go inside, the interior is still largely an undiscovered country. From what I could gather through the windows, however, it looks like a photographer's playground. Because of said time constraints, and because, to me, the Coolpix A doesn't feel right when shot on a tripod, everything was shot run-and-gun style - which didn't stop me from lugging the thing around, though. I usually go out with two cameras, each with a fixed focal length lens: a full frame DSLR with a 85 1.8 mm, and the Coolpix with its 1.5 crop sensor and 28 mm equivalent lens. Both the Coolpix sensor and lens are extremely well matched, and the combination considerably punches above its weight, which is the reason (apart from the size and the quality feel to it) why I still use it. Well, that, and the fact that it's a little marvel when shot contre-jour. Somehow, however, the 28 mm perspective doesn't suit me the way 85 mm does: I'm always left feeling I want to go a bit wider, or a bit narrower. The venerable Sigma 24-35 2.0 might do the trick, but I guess I'll eventually turn to 24 and 35 primes, as these will either force me to slow down when needed (the 24, for architecture), or, perhaps paradoxically, allow me to work more quickly (the 35, for reportage). Now all I have to do is get myself a 24 tilt-shift, so that I can start shooting architecture properly, and go back for a couple of more runs.
