Last Sunday morning my wife dragged me out of bed to go a carboot sale. It was a cold, gray, rainy, and miserable morning. But I found this guy trying to sell some huge, old wind instruments I can't even name. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE YOUR CAMERA WITH YOU!

I love the details, Robert! It reminds me of trumpet valves!! I'd be interested in the black and white version too!! Happy shooting! #37136Robert Pranagal May 26, 2019
Cathy, Edwin, Jeannie and Dolores,Thank you so much for your kind comments. You would not believe how dull it looked in reality. I am really impressed how the film rendered the colors. The background was an old canvas full of holes. Really junky...
BW is a great idea. I will definitely play with it in PS. I'm thinking of adding some grain to it, too.
Thanks again! #37197
