Challenge: Something Old (Classic Editing)
Camera: Olympus C-2100UZ
Location: Bothell, WA

Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/125

Credit to my wife, Kate, for helping out with the arrangement. The book is a classic and is over 100 years old. The watch was my great great grandfather's. I inherited the tin box from my grandfather. The coins are 1921, 1922, & 1976 silver dollars. The rear photo is my great grandfather and the other is of Kate's parents.

Shot in the living room using one flash fitted with a micro softbox and another bounced off the ceiling.

When are you publishing the family biography? Looks as interesting as anything on TV these days...and you've already got a cover photo...

Love the old photos!

There have been a number of photos on this theme (still life of a collection of old things) in this challenge, I think this is my favourite.

Technically, very good. Theme is forced.

A Nice collage of old objects. I'm being frank in my comments - not to offend. For me: I would change the angle and the cropping, sometimes not all of the subject/objects have to be completely visible...that could lend the viewer to look again. I do like that the objects are not just flat. Good work 6

very nice still life... i like your composition on this one... the contrast offered by the different color of the book adds a 'unique' bit of color to this image... :) - jmsetzler

Is this one of Betty's? I dont know but my first impression is that it has Betty's style. Well whoever you are - this is great. I love the arrangement. Everything in this shot is suitable and interesting to look at. I'm dying to see more detail on that box at the front. Focus, contrast and colour are all excellent. Well done.

nicely done

It's technically a very well done shot. But I think it lacks a central theme. This has the effect of making the picture a bit too busy. My motto, less is best, would work well here - but, this is only my opinion... Good luck... (5)

There is a rule against taking pictures of pictures,this may get disqualified,but its a nice 'still life' anyway.
