A very well thought out image...This might have looked rather good also with the camera set on a tripod using a long exposure..mono would also rock!
Well done and congrats!...Brian

Nice composition! The "Tower" trademark was one of the Sears-Roebuck brands, back in the mid 20th century. But I don't know who actually manufactured the TLR shown. I bought a Tower brand SLR in the early 1960s that was made by Pentax.

Location
This photo was taken in my home, I have collections of old antiquities.Time
I took this photo during the day indoors.Lighting
This was an HDR photo so every photo was shot at a different shutter speed.Equipment
Canon 4d mk3 50mm PrimeInspiration
Ever since I was a kid I have loved the Indiana Jones movies, it has inspired me to travel the world in search of adventure. My inspiration for this photo came by accident, me, my wife and our children were planning for another trip to Europe and we set our passports on this hutch in our dining room. One day I had walked by and thought wow if I just added some old currency I had acquired from my travels this would make an awesome Indiana Jones/Adventure photo.Editing
This photo is made up of 7 individual shots, I processed them into an HDR photo as I was really going for the soft aged look as if the items had been sitting for years in a study.In my camera bag

My advice would be that creativity can be found anywhere, sometimes we try so hard to fabricate it and sometimes that works but most of the time people can spot the genuine article. Investigate your surroundings and like a director holding his hands in the square position try and see your world through your lens, this will help you spot the magic that people don't normally see. For example, you might see an old gate and most people's first instinct is, how do I frame this so I get all the foliage, sky and everything else in my photo. But what if you zoomed in on just a small portion of the gate? it will be more interesting and become timeless.
