I happened to walk by this radio in my house which is sitting under a lamp and noticed the contouring of shape. Had to shoot it. Ofcourse I did some repositioning to get the contouring I wanted and not get gradations of light on the wall. I bracketed a LOT, experiementing with DoF and getting the exact exposure.
WB set to daylight in RAW conversion for "warm" look.

I appreciate the attempt here...but this photo seems to represent a more modern feeling...perhaps a better antique background would have added to the photo.
This image works extremely well as a low key image. The highlights are perfectly exposed. The subject is interesting (to me at least). Composition works. You've allowed enough texture in to give depth. Well done. 9
