Challenge: Design & Engineering (Advanced Editing I)
Camera: Sony DSC-F717
Location: Alpaharetta, GA
Date: Mar 7, 2004
Aperture: 8.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 3 sec
Galleries: Abstract
Date Uploaded: Mar 7, 2004

 Inside gears, levers, springs, wheels, flywheels, and many other engineering elements were required for these vintage slot machines. This one, dated 1943, was removed from the case and illuminated probably over a hundred ways with halogen lamps, indirect incandescent lamps, flood lights...but this simple flashlight lighting from underneath seemed to be best of the lot. Usual PS levels and minor spot cloning to remove rust spots and some glare.

Interesting shot, these are all computerized now. Colors and contrst are nice, crop works well so you can tell what the gears are part of
