Old lamp

This Ektachrome slide was shot in a so called antique shop on Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn. I'm amazed to see the amount of data captured by the original slide and the amount that the scanner was able to preserve. This is not easy lighting and many modern digicams could have difficulties in capturing this amount of detail without saturating the highlights.
