Day 8 : The Sound of Dust



Taken: December 9, 2007
Camera: Fujifilm Finepix s5800
Biloxi, MS

This is the record player that was once in my grandfather's (Ullendorf) house. It now sits in my old bedroom at my mother's house until I find a place big enough. I was sitting around, not long after Grandpa gave me the Fujifilm camera, desperate to figure out all of the things I could do with it. After all, it was my very first digital camera. So I went in search of things to take shots of. The record player just spoke to me. I got several shots of it, but this is one of my favorites. I was trying to play with the Macro setting on the camera and had to get in very, very close for the shot to come out. I was particularly trying to get the dust and any other proof of age. There are no texture filters used, this is what I took. Slight editing to improve contrast, and of course, cropping. All in all, this shot makes me nostalgic.
