 Black felt background
all lights turned out. set shutter for 25 seconds. released shutter and illuminated the typewriter with a flashlight for 5 or 6 seconds, then just let the rest of the 25 seconds run out in darkness. In PS I resized, adjusted levels, saturation, exposure and USM and saved for web.

I love this typewriter. My daughter bought it at the Goodwill for $15. I used it for my Odd Couple entry and finished 8th with my highest score ever. I hope this gets me another high one. But who the heck knows any more? I sure haven't figured it out yet.

I recognize this typewriter... larryslights, right? The one highlight on the chrome on the top is the only nit I have with this. Otherwise I quite like it.
