I am trying a different style here.
I like the result, but I am not sure if it will fare well.
This was originally a very dark night shoot. I had to underexpose a lot, otherwise lights were blowing everything.

I really like the effect as well as the composition and (lack of) color. This is probably my favorite (I haven't quite gotten through all of them yet).

I just love this photo, the whole setup looks so classic. The B*W toning, the pushed-like exposure and good old film like grain is just great. I also think that it has a pretty strong composition with the lights guiding the viewer trough the frame, the view into the depth and some people in it to be able to judge sizes.

What a great shot. Superb interest level and just so different....but in a good way. The lamps really draw your eyes perfectly from top to bottom. 10

Hopefully not too many people will vote this down for having electricity in it... It's not strictly electronics, and this is a great photo.. It has a very other world feel to it.. It's like a painting almost.. Great Photo.. 9.

I am going to interpret your tribute as life before Edison. A very nice b/w study.

Gorgeous. I love the noise in the picture - really adds to the feel.

I will give this the benefit of the doubt ... the lights are gas lights, right? I like the point of view and the perspective. B&W works well. Good job.

Electronic! Clearly stated in the challenge guide that electronic objects cannot be submitted. Sorry, I'm sure you;ve had this comment loads already.

Beautiful composition - is this surreal look post processing? I would be very interested to find out after the voting.

OK, I totally don't get it. Non electric items is the topic but you have electric lights. I need explanation to remove my poor vote for violating the topic rules. If these are gas lights then I would have expected the title to indicate that.
