I took tons of photos of this projector each with a slight difference in composition, lighting and exposure and finally decided on this shot. It was a bit of a hassle to fish some gross dust out of the vacuume cleaner and sprinkle it on the projector ... expecially since I'm allergic to dust ... but I think it adds a nice touch. Another aspect I'm really happy with is the natural sepia tone I got by using a regular table lamp which reflected nicelly on the warm metal texture.

Nice use of curves. I especially like the way you included both reels in the composition. They complement each other through repitition of the curves. I love the way the boxy part up front contrasts with the reels and in between are some details of the "other parts." The contrast of textures is good and the coloring works well here. The dark background is good too. I'm looking for something to NOT like here....um......I can't! Oh wait! A tiny dof issue in the center of the upper reel...hmmmmmm. Oh so what! Still a great photo. Congratulations!
Great shot! Very good depth of field. Is this the "real" color or is this sepia? (no matter, just curious) Nice angle of attack, but did you try between the reels? (it might have been a cool view, also) Score change - was 8, now 9! Swash
A classic projector shot, are you sure you took this picture just last week. Is that a little dust I see around the top of the light housing? :-P I like the way the lighting was done and the coloring, gives it that preserved look. The only nit pic I have is that I would have liked to have the knurling on the projection lens in sharp focus. Still, one of my top ten picks.
excellent photo :) The old 8mm projectors are practically a thing of the past... my parents have an old super 8 video camera and a projector, but it is not nearly as 'aged' as this one... excellent lighting and composition... good work :) - jmsetzler
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - very good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality - quite good
oh, very cool shot! :) i like the composition, DOF and the color, too. very nicely done. i haven't gotten far in my voting yet, but i suspect this one is going to be one of my favorites. -- gr8photos (9)
