I can see why you are conflicted- they are both great!! You already have a few shots of the figurine in your album, so changing it up with the shot of the camera would be kind of cool (show some range). I'm also a big fan of textures, so I will have to vote for the camera shot. Great job with both though :D
I love both pics, but I have to go for the camera shot :) Not only cos I have the same camera lol! But because the textures and vintage feel to the photo suit the subject so well!! So yeah I vote for the shot of the camera!!!! xx
I did the same thing yesterday! I was very pleased with all the feedback I received, but one comment in particular, really resonated with me and I can gladly say the same to you..... @ceenkhoorn said: "Both are lovely shots, but I think you should just go with which ever one speaks to you most. It's not like the 365 Project is a competition (unless you're doing the themes), but rather it's a personal expression of what you want to share with the community here. I have a hard time choosing shots sometimes, but I just go with what means the most for me. I find that works best. =)"
So, my advice would be to choose the one you feel a greater connection with. Which one would you be sad to not see on 365? Also, another thing that I did (which really helped) was just take a day of not looking at either photo. Then, when you go back to decide, you're looking at them with "fresh eyes" :)
@coolgirlsar I had the same thing yesterday, though not of different subjects.
The camera strikes me as the shot I'd go for, however that might be because it reminded me I have loads of beautiful old equipment to take shots of, it's been a while since I did, last time I tried a through the viewfinder experiment with an old pentax to see what would happen, just doesn't work the same as using the box ones people work with...
I'm also having the same problem today but both my photos are much the sameness wheras you have 2 totally different pictures which makes it more difficult to choose. Both are great, fantastic images but the one that speaks to me the most is the camera. That's my own personal preferance though and everyone's different. So so difficult, lol.
@danimarie@ceenkhoorn I really like Cristina's comment about going with the one which speaks most to you. You can always use the second shot as a filler for a day when you lack inspiration.
Tweets ahoy!
