Artist research John Piper was born in Epsom, Surrey in 1903, the son of solicitor Charles Piper. He was educated at Epsom Collegeand trained at the Richmond School of Art, followed by the Royal College of Art in London. He turned from abstraction early in his career, concentrating on a more naturalistic but distinctive approach. As a child, Piper lived in Epsom, at that time in the countryside. He went exploring on his bike, and drew and painted pictures of old churches and monuments on the way. He started making guide books complete with pictures and information at a young age.

About Cameras The Aperture It is the opening of the lens. The bigger the aperture the more sunlight you let in making your object you a taking a photo of brighter. The White balance The white balance is the process of removing unrealistic colour contrast in you picture. So for objects which appear white on a person is rendered as white in your photo. The ISO When you change the ISO, you’re adjusting the cameras sensitivity to the light. The ISO can be anywhere between 24 to 6,500. Maybe even higher. The lower the setting makes it less sensitive. Different lenses For the 24 70mm lens you can use it for Parties, people, pets, holiday cheer, cars, sports (as long as you’re kind of close), architecture (as long as you are not TOO close), friends, and family and landscapes. And for 50mm you get it with the wide aperture of f1.8, especially going from your typical kit lens which is usually f5.6, this lens gives you 3 stops. More light comes through the lens opening. This allows you to use either a faster shutter speed and avoid camera shake, or a lower ISO and avoid the noise you get from higher ISOs, or a combination of both. the 50mm lens is a great street shooting lens, not too wide, not too long. It also good for portraits it’s just long enough to remove distortion from your subject’s face and flatter them a bit more.

The museum was founded in 1884 as the historical and archaeological museum of the Dutch province of Limburg. The name Bonnefanten Museum is derived from the French 'bons enfants' ('good children'), the popular name of a former convent that housed the museum from 1951 until 1978.

In 1959, the museum moved from rented space to its current building, a landmark work of 20th- century architecture. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the cylindrical building, wider at the top than the bottom, was conceived as a "temple of the spirit". Its unique ramp gallery extends up from ground level in a long, continuous spiral along the outer edges of the building to end just under the ceiling skylight. The building underwent extensive expansion and renovations in 1992 (when an adjoining tower was built) and from 2005 to 2008.
