Very good photo! Nice subject, I don't even own a player for these "big black compact disks" ;-) Excellent DOF. The grain is ok, it makes the photo look even older. Also very nice how the lighting reflects in the furrows. One of my favourite photos this week. -stephan
I like this picture. The graininess adds to the "old" effect.
The only two things I see which could have improved it (i.e., made it look older) would have been to use a 78 as the record being played and a less "hi-tech" cartridge on the tonearm. But those are niggly little things.
Personally, I love the graininess and the way that the shallow depth of field draws my eye right to that highlight on the grooves of the record. Great photo.
Damn - I cant believe someone else thought of photographing a record! And on a suitably old looking player too. You've captured those grooves beautifully. Good use of DoF try and hide the fact that it's 'Ghostbusters' by Ray Parker Jr.
this photo rocks... the light catch on the record and the film grain really makes this image stand out for me... i scored this photo with a 6 on my initial vote but it's going to the top now.. excellent work... keep it up :) - jmsetzler
Well done! I like the use of DOF here. The angle and composition are very effective for this. I even like the graininess at the top. Good Work. 8 Ruthann
I remember those things! I like the grainyness of the photo and definitely helps to be in B&W (did you increase the ISO rating in camera for this shot?). Having the warped section of the LP in focus gets points in my book, definitely old. Good job.
nice- i could totally picture this on the wall of a cool diner of something. i really like the lighting and grainy look. gives it a real artsy feel. 9--amitchell
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - quite good. I'd preferred a larger DOF Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality - quite good
Very clever, an old looking photo of something really old :) I like the grainyness and DOF of this picture and I'm glad you used B&W instead of sepia. Well done!
