Astonishing!

Klaus Ratzer Tanks Dinu. I'm glad you like it.

Dinu Bodescu As a matter of fact, I find it quite inspiring, mainly because I am fond of everything in connection with writing, books, and so on... And, besides, I have used myself some of these extraordinary typewriters long before computers invaded our lives...

Best regards, Dinu

I still love that one, it really is that raw look and this light. Its among the top-three in my personal Klaus Ratzer ranking.

good old Erika, never loses its charme. that raw look fits the motif perfectly, the photo technique works also great. in a way, i expect that "&" to hit me right out of the screen :-)

Great composition and lighting.

Martin Gremm 3 years ago

The tones and lighting harmonize very well with the subject matter.

Klaus Ratzer Yes, indeed. I've spent a couple of hours with lighting and angle but the effort now payed off. Thanks for your comment Martin.

I love the idea, lighting, composition and color tone.
Just a wonderful work, beautiful picture.

Klaus Ratzer Thank you, I think the color tone is very important for this capture. Perhaps you like to have a look to a similar photo from the same series at my OE homepage.

Sergio Lubezky It is my screen now, I enjoy it immensely!
Thank you!

Beautifully done, Klaus! Your method to make this image is also very interesting.

Klaus Ratzer Thank you, Ursula. I explored this method for several month and particulary got extraordinary near distance shots. But an ususal macro lens is much easier to handle.
