Dachau Visitor Center

The Dachau visitor’s center is about a block long, spanning the camp from one side to the other. Loosely divided into sections, each section has storyboards narrating some aspect of the camp’s history, ranging from the daily routine to the medical care (or lack of it) the internees received.

Don’t know what this women was reading, but the look on her face and posture speaks volumes.

You may notice the technical quality of these photos isn’t that good. Now of course supposedly it’s not the camera that matters, and in a sense that’s true. But with a prosumer camera like a Canon Xti with it’s cropped sensor, you’re ISO limited compared to full frame sensors. In indoor situations like this you find yourself shooting at 1/15 sec or somewhere in that range, even with my Xti at it’s highest ISO setting of 1600. So you end up with shaky, grainy, low depth of field photos.
