A lovely old carbide lamp. Super pic Bill.
Wise choice the sepia mate. Excellent work Bill
very elegant shot
Nice shot. As a matter of interest, do you know if this was one of the early type that had a candle in it, or one of those that burned kerosene?
Sorry Ernest...even though I spent a total of five hours in this wonderful museum...and saw every kind of headlamp imaginable, I didn't get a chance to get an answer to that question. I suspect the car makers were beyond candle power by 1900. I know miners were using carbide before 1900. I suspect this one burned kerosene...appears to have a small reservoir below the mirrored light chamber.
Fabuloso object!
Wow!
And a locomobile? Was that another designation for Stanley Steamer? Nice photo of the lamp! With all the air holes it must have consumed a lot of oxygen or given off a lot of smoke. It would be interesting to learn more about the locomobile. Nice touch with the aging/sepia work. Keep up the good work! :-)
Well done. Choice of sepia toning is great.
OH WOW! This is such a fantastic shot and I love that you used sepia, as it makes it look so... clean :)
excellent
Very cool shot Bill! love this lamp
A fine foto of one ornate and what seems like a somewhat complex headlight, Bill.
Very cool! With shots like this, you might actually make me regret I skipped that room. :P I'll enjoy your shots from there all the more! :)
That is just something else! Great shot!
Wow! A real work of art, made for working; now that's elegant! Wonderful capture!!
Super pic, the lamp is kept so shiny!!
Superb capture Bill. God bless.
Oh, that is just gorgeous, Bill! Wow...... I'd sell my soul (well, almost) to get my hands on one of these! Sweet capture!
Very nice. I love the artistry of these old vehicles.
Very nice capture.
The way you've lit this Bill has made it seem even more wonderful.. Such craftsmanship, long gone I fear... Excellent mate, more like this please. Rob
