An old dispatch station for the Phoenix Fire Dept., reconstructed in the "Hall of Flame" fire museum - the largest (musuem) of it's type in the world.

(Comment entered before the challenge) The noise is intentional - caused using "Noise" in Photoshop. I don't know how this will go over, but I like it for the challenge topic.

I like the addition of grain to this photo - it really enhances the feeling of age!

Very grainy...but it does not come across as a grain-effect.

Has too much noise IMO

looks too much grainy

Nice image, only thing is, the noise is not appealing, it looks very artificial.
07/02/2005 08:46:36 PM
wow that's old... did you use iso1600?

Even though the photo is a little grainy, I could believe it was done on purpose to give it the feeling of being oboslete.

OMG, I love this! It has got to be a museum or it's a pic of a pic, in which case it would be DQ'd. Good luck!

too much noise for my taste

I am a big fan of noise in the right picture and this is a very right picture! Makes me think of something from the 70's! Love it! I wouldn't change a thing!

This picture really does show things that are obsolete. I can't decide whether the grain you have in the picture is intentional or not. To me, it would look better with less grain.

Love the retro look

...And to think that this room was state of the art at one time. Fitting for the challenge. I can't decide if I like the grain in the picture. I don't really think it adds to the picture, but it really doesn't distract either. As I study it though, I keep wondering what the button on the side of the desk did. LOL Good Luck in the challenge.

so much noise in your picture....
06/29/2005 03:58:01 PM
WAY too much noise in this shot!!

I like the grainy look - takes me back to watching NASA stuff on TV in the 60's.

I like how the noise makes it feel 70's and 80's. The lighting needs work. Where'd you find all this?

A shame I don't like the graininess here as it's the best example of "obsolete" I've seen in the first hundred or so I've rated so far
06/29/2005 10:31:54 AM
I actually like the grainness in this photo - it may not do very well in general, but it seems perfect choice for this challenge.
Composition is good, as everything in this image is obsolete. However, the total effect is of lacking focal point, main object. That's where you could have done better. 7.

I bet youre getting slammed for the grain, but it fits perfectly here. Nice shot.

Great find! This is amazing. I like the grittiness - was that on purpose?
