 I was digging around for an object of interest for this challenge and I just so happen to unearth this old camera my grandfather gave to me. I thought it looked neat so I blew off some of the dust and positioned it on a black drop cloth and lit it with a simple desk lamp. Once I looked at the shot I liked the look of it, the lighting seem to capture the oldness of the object. The light is a bit hot in some places, but I thought it added to the "oldlook" of the photo.

This is an amazing photograph. The texture on the camera and the gold coloration is wonderful. Beautiful - 10

I like this shot. The sepia, of course, adds to the antiquity of the object. Very nice.

Nice. What is that a .01 megapixal. Ha ha. Very nice shot.

you may have tried for the lighting effect that resulted, but not enough midtones on the camera and the brightnes it a little too bright for me.

I like how you managed the exposure in here!. 10!

My camera collection has several like this but they're in much better condition and I've taken better pictures of them. But I wasn't limited by the light source. Because of the challenge I'll add a couple extra points.

Good sepia tones, light and shadow pick out details interestingly.

You could have dusted it first! Very nice, the dust does add an interesting texture.

I think the plush upholstery is distracting to the wonderfull lit and grainy camera. how about a 9?
 10/21/2002 09:49:00 PM
You needed a bit more light on the lens.
