It's Arkady's birthday, so we're all off to the V&A! Leaving in about an hour or so. And I will have my camera. Any photo requests? Gallery, room, collection#. Be quick!

On a related note; if anyone has suggestions for themes for Britain Loves Wikipedia at the V&A please let me know. What parts of their collections are under-represented on Wikipedia at the moment?
(and don't forget that last year's images are now on Commons waiting to be used: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/ Category:Wikipedia_Loves_Art_at_the_Victoria_and_Albert_Museum )

Oh, I got some photos of that Euphicon you wanted (they opened the exhibit specially for me!), but I haven't had a chance to phone at get permission to release it under a license that allow commercial use (I have the phone number and I'm sure they'll say yes, but I feel I really ought to ask since they usually don't allow commercial use). You may want to take some yourself if the exhibit is open, though, since mine weren't very good - there is very poor lighting in that room and I just had a point-and-click camera with a small flash. If you have a better flash I'm sure you'll get better pictures.

Yes, I asked about the music room today, and the music room is only open on the first Wednesday of every month! So I'll see if I can get in on the 6th of January ... failing that, your pics would be way better than nothing!
The F70EXR is surprisingly good without a flash. I got a pile of shots of various things today, pretty much at random - just seeing what it could do.
