Wooden Sextant

Is a model release on file if needed? (Yes/No/NA) 

N/A

What day was the photo taken? 

Monday, April 12, 2010.

Photo Description 

This is a photograph of a huge wooden sextant. I don't know how old it is but I am sure that it is at least several hundred years old.

I took this photo through a furniture/antiques/collectibles store window around 9 p.m. in downtown Denver, Colorado.

I am going to say that this sextant is somewhere around five to six feet tall.

Lessons Learned 

  • Always try to take photographs from numerous angles because you never know what photo will turn out the best.
  • I enjoy taking photos at night, especially whe it is warm outside.
  • The photos that I took turned out better than I expected, especially since there was a strong wind.
