Old switches
This is a closeup of switches and knobs on an old amplifier my Dad was about to throw out. I added some strong lighting from underneath in order to create strange, almost ghostly shadows. The strong light made the ends of the switches seem to glow. I used a shallow depth of field in order to draw the eye to the switches and to blur the distracting background.This photo reminds me that no matter how advanced a piece of technology is, eventually it becomes more valuable as a reminder of the past than for its original purpose.

Thanks for the comments. Whenever the weather isn't too great on the east coast, I have to be more creative with looking for subjects.
Maybe an old amplifier but in your picture it looks like a piece of high tech !
Nicely done.
