Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Obsolete (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S5100
Location: Living Room, Dad's Music Cabinet
Date: Jun 25, 2005
Aperture: f/4
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/60
Date Uploaded: Jun 27, 2005

 My dad has stacks and stacks of 8-track tapes that he can no longer use, because I think all 5 or so of his 8-track players don't work.

I don't think this will do too well... it's not the most clear photo and I don't know if voters will consider this "obsolete" enough. I'll also probably get comments on it being overexposed, or too much flash.

But I like the colors in this, and I like the names, it's a bit of nostalgia. So I am happy with the photo. I know it can be improved, though, so bring on the comments!

You still have the boxes???
I had many of those titles...

Now these are truly obsolete. Not sure that the composition moves me, but image definitely meets challenge.

I suppose even making a title of 8 track would not help. Most people who have seem them are obsolete. Get those good song off there and onto mp3.

Nice colection, B&W may have looked better. 7

This is great - I like the saturation, over-sharpness and general retro feel of this: 8
