This is my old Zenit TTL camera. I still use and love it very much! :-)
The title has another word-play - I love them -, B. C. stands for Before Christ. A friend of mine has a homepage and he put some 15-20 year-old photos of us on it, and he titled the site with the Hungarian definition of B. C. which can be only translated to English with a sentence: "Before man started counting time."
This still life is decent, but I think your depth of field may have been too shallow. The exposure level on the black camera is also a bit weak. A lot of the detail in that area is lost. The film canister on the left is also a bit out of focus. The 'depth' of the setup is fairly flat also. There is not much 'dimension' to the image. Maybe a different arrangement would have worked well. Your lighting is good.
Thank you all for your helpful comments very much! This was a last minute submission, I know I should have spent much more time with it. Next time I will pay attention to all those things you have mentioned, I promise. :-)
Ah a Russian camera! Nice set up, the lighting is pretty good, although I am missing some details on the camera being lost to darkness. That and the tape on the side of the camera is all I can really comment on, otherwise it's good.
Not a bad composition, but you lose all your detail because there is not enough light. For example, you can not tell where the camera ends and the flash unit starts...
