It's a good and well executed example and I will try something similar. I have an old "doctors" leather case for a background from that times but will not "burn down" my nearly mint Spotmatic F like the one in the photo for this experiment . But hey, my Agfa Ambiflex SLR is exactly dated 1959 and it has a leather case too. thanks again Christian, Gonz and Kostas.
Another tricky decision for me will be what things to clean beside the glass and where to leave the original dust on I hope I don't bore the PDML crowd with my step by step development of a still life idea from 1959 :-) Markus -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Christian Sent: Friday, February 16, 2007 5:44 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Looking for help for an old wine & glass still life Gonz wrote: > Markus, > > The bright colors dont seem to go with the old bottle, especially the > white high key background.
