Old fashion

Thank you for viewing and critiques.

The time period of the background doesn't match the camera, which is what I think you were hoping for, the clock looks too modern. The camera looks good but a better background would improve it.

 

I'm embarrassed to say I don't know what 1:8,8 means

It's true...There is an exercise, not really good. But is also an exercise of courage :)

Of course, I don't know what 1 : 8,8 must be...

Thank you for your kindness.

Keep trying! You might have some old books or other period items. Try different angles. If you're shooting digital, even better. The wall color is good.

 

Here's a recent picture of a similar nature that someone sent in that I commented on.

PS. Ok I figured it out. the 1:8,8 means that it can open to f8.8 and the focal length is 10.5cm or 105mm. It's European so they have commas instead of decimal points which threw me off..

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I'll try to play with light and objects.

At least for me!

I think you have a cam like this :)

what a good composition you got there....what an ancient aperture...come to think that first cameras built by george eastman in 1888 had a single aperture- f:9 and an exposure time of 20 seconds...seeing this photo make me understand,once more,why I like to work on film rather than digital....soI'll pick up my nikon,put an ilford in it and go take some pictures.this is a good photo-the one that create an emotion,and yours done that.great work,indeed.

Gabriel :) Multumesc mult.
