 You just gotta love the buttery smooth bokeh of a good, fast prime...

I don't know if this will be 'DPC popular', but I really have a thing for old microphones & this shot just seems to strike a chord for me! Besides, I'm trying to hit a goal I set a year ago: getting an average of 1 shot per week entered in challenges - it's been almost 1 year exactly since my first entry & this composition is #51. I'm entering #52 tomorrow :~)

Thanks to Scott Loudon of Aashrum Recording Studio for a fun morning of photography & music!

------------

Well, I was mostly right about this not striking a chord with voters, but it still ranks as one of my own personal favs...

nice shot and interesting subject. like the colors and composition, not sure about the strong dof, perhaps a little less would suffice 8

Great subject. A bit more brightness would have worked for me.
