But I am not sure I have many that look as though they have experienced the ravages of times the way this one does. For someone who likes to "haunt old graveyards" that is a treasure of a find, Don. |

Here's an old gravestone from 1860. I like to haunt (pun intended) old graveyards and I have photos of stones older than this one. But I am not sure I have many that look as though they have experienced the ravages of times the way this one does. Of course, another photo of something very old would just be the guy in the photo to the left. Another intended pun, photomono?  |

I like how the light is reflecting off the floor and door panels, Dan. It creates a nice sense of depth as we get a glimpse of the displayed urns.

Is it a press of some sort. For apples perhaps? Train Station Whatchamacallit I'm not sure what this is called but it looks like it ground something up. Anyone know? It was at an old restored train station.  |

I have a few old things from England that I brought back in 1981. This is a mid 1800's copper kettle. BuckSkin would be interested in the metalwork. It is hand worked and the base is connected to the sides with nice dovetail joints. I neglected to dust it before taking photos. Those are my paws prints in the dust.  Complex studio setup. Placed on a black cloth that was sitting in a small box on the kitchen island in the dark. Dimly lighted with an LED flashlight. Desaturated and tweaked in ACR and PSE,  |

Like t he shape of the kettle, Clive. May have asked before but forget. What material is your black cloth? I have felt and velvet and when I use them (not often) seems there is always lint that needs to be removed.

What material is your black cloth? I purchased a NEEWER Photo Studio setup in Dec 2019. It came with three polyester backdrops. The black certainly picks up dust and threads but not like felt which I have used. |

So it looks to be in the 80 t0 100 years old range. Thanks for the informative youtube video. Harvesting wheat equipment has sure changed!
