I struggled with this one all afternoon, trying to decide on props and their placement and the right lighting. In the end I just decided this was going to be as good as it gets. It has been a challenging but fun week. Still life photography is hard but it is good to get out of one's comfort zone. On to black and white landscapes.

@nigelrogers It’s a Sekonic L216 from the 1960’s. It doesn’t really belong in the same picture with a Kodak Autographic from the late 1910’s but I needed something for that space and it filled it nicely. The two could theoretically be used together as the Autographic has 3 shutter speeds, 1/25 1/50 1/100, and aperture’s f7.7 to f32.
Great selection of pieces for this still life. I also like your treatment of it. The warm, tending to sepia, choice of tones works so well with the subject.
