Vintage and Antique Objects (no cars)

Old typewriters are everywhere, however seeing this one in action is a step back in time! The sharp focus on the typewriter combined with the movement of the typists hands and the softened books, leads the eye to the main subject immediately. It's a reminder of how labor intensive some work was, compared to today's instant results. Wonderful image and artfully executed! Congratulations on 1st Place in Vintage and Antique Objects!

This gorgeous shot is artfully executed, from the sharp focus on the stylus, the softness of everything else and the gentle, faded colors. All combined, it evokes times past when the gramophone was the entertainment of choice. Congratulations on 3rd Place in Vintage and Antique Objects!

There was a time when writing with a fountain pen was a common practice and a great improvement over a quill and ink. This photo captures the beauty and simplicity of the pen and its resulting writing on paper. The pen is perfectly lit and sharply highlighted. Well done, and congratulations on 7th Place in Vintage and Antique Objects!

What a treasure! Having both the heirloom cameras as well as the photos they took is a prize for this family. The selective focus on the compact camera and then slowly softening through the Reflekta and photos creates an emotional mood. The soft light adds to this overall effect. Beautifully done, and congratulations on 5th Place in Vintage and Antique Objects!

Old books are a natural for vintage photography and this composition shows them off beautifully. This Danish encyclopedia is a treasure even with some wear and tear. The fold out of a map shows a possible use of the book, and the irregular placing of the books appears that they are indeed well used. A lovely photo, and congratulations on 9th Place in Vintage and Antique Objects!

We forget that in Victorian times, medical cures were far from scientific at times. This charming photo captures a typical pharmacy in its glory with myriad "cures". The composition shows off the variety of bottles, packages and drawers that contain more goodies, and it is well exposed to show the details. Congratulations on 10th Place in Vintage and Antique Objects!
