Hmmm, interesting. Good composition. Colors are a bit too monotonous, and subject doesn't do a whole lot for me. 5 md

I think the photographer meant to submit this to last week's 'something OLD' challenge.

Comment by mcmurma:
For anyone that wants to know how this is done, here goes: There is no real trick, it is simple enough, but you have to have a camera that can keep the shutter open for at least 10 or 15 seconds. This shot was 13 seconds long with no flash fill. With the shutter open I quickly stuck my hand on the knob, held it very still for about 3 seconds, then moved it quickly out. If you do this smoothly, and hold your hand still enough, it leaves a nice crisp outline in the finished photo.

And thanks to all that commented!

Very nicely done. Like the ghostlike nature ofthe hand, the obvious age of the radio. 7 sjgleah

This is very good and I think the photographer should get points for creativity for his 'ghostly' hand. Nice work!

Nicely capture the vintage mood... The ghostly hand adds to the sensation of a by-gone era.

I like the ephemeral, knob turning hand...
The ghost of radio lands past!

Like the ghost hand. Photo a little too dark at top left.
