| I just love antiques. You have a great subject here. I would try a variety of angles. |

This lighting is better. You might try sitting in front of the machine, like you were going to use it. I so like all the old decorative patterns - especially on the base, and you almost have to shoot down on it to capture those. If you go any lower on perspective, the background comes into play as a major element of the photo.
You've lost the hand crank in this shot - a critical part of this machine's vintage.

I saw your lighting setup with the big reflectors. Can you post what exactly it is you are trying to acheive with your lighting setup for this shot?
Also I would get down and shoot this from the front or maybe just slightly above. Could also try shooting it from an angle to the right side to show off that dunkly looking back, but either way I would avoid top-down. It always looks like the person just walked up to something, pointed the camera down and clicked. |
