...I'm hearing "does not fit challenge" (not the lowest tech) already, but I couldn't resist to submit something, it's an addiction....
This is shot at a release consert when the Icelandic pop band "Í svörtum fötum" launched their 4th album last week. A couple of band members are friends of mine and I shot the whole consert. There were 7 or 8 pro video cams there (filmed for television) but no other photog so when the video guys were not in my way I had the stage for my self for shooting.
Consulted arnit before the gig and shot a full 1GB CF card during the show, manual with my 50mm f/1.8 and the 70-200 f/4. This shot was done with the 70-200 @ 200mm.

This is a great shot, no doubt about it. Good facial expression, good use of gradient color in the background, a very strong image. I am marking this lower than I would like because the obvious use of electronics (wireless microphone and ear bud) does not meet the challenge topic, in my opinion.
This is a great image, but all wrong. The microphone is wireless and the headset is some of the newest tech in the industry. On the plus side, the color is brilliant, the focus spot on and the balance of subject with negative space is perfect. Some highlights in the color and cuff are way too washed out. This is a 3 based on challenge, not composition.
Interesting shot, though I would not consider a wireless mike to be low tech (nor non-electronic as the chalenge called for!) I like the composition (negative space) but the crop on the singer seems to "in-between" for me (not a severe, intentional crop, nor a minor, non-crop). Or something like that ;)
Doesn't really impress me as Low Tech but it is an excellent picture with great emotion and I really like the colors. I am more interested in a good picture than "The Rules".
Ummm... would that be "electronic" audio? Or just the vocal audio? It's a neat shot, but the presence of "electronic" causes me to vote much lower since it was so hard to find low-tech without electronic. Or something like that. But is *is* a cool photo!
It look like a wireless microphone... I don't think it fit for non-electronic... beside, human voice is not a technology, nor hig or low. the color are interesting the quality is very good the composition is well done.
with an explicit description of nothing electronic, I think you'll likely get hurt in this challenge. The photo is neat otherwise, I like the color of the background as it reflects off his white shirt. A consistent look for the lighting. I think it could have been cropped tighter on the top, also.
Well I don't know about this one, microphones are elcectronic and therefore against the challenge statement, and I fail tos ee any low technology here. It's a shame, because it's a great shot.
