 My very first submission to dpchallenge. I was in a kind of a hurry, since the submissions end tonight. This shot was taken in my room, used only the lightning that was available, which explains the yellow'ness' in the photo.

More about that photo. This is a calculator from a oil refinery, probably from the fifties or sixties. Amazingly, this thing still works. There's also a math book, which I think enlightend the photo a bit.

Please comment on what I'm doing wrong and what could go better, if you are able. Thank you.

I'm old enough to have seen this machine in use and got to play with it, great sounds, it all comes to life!

An interesting machine, but the lighting could have been a bit better.

Need a bit more lighting on the left side, it starts to fade away into the darkness and I keep finding my eye drawn away from the rest of the image into the dark.

This practically "Old World"
It would be pleasing to see more of the machine.
