Lovely shot - that amber colour doesn't half stand out. What's the record?

Jen Bixler		23-Aug-2006 14:19
Wow! Way to capture the feeling...I do remember, but my daughter has not a clue!

rick bolt		01-Apr-2006 13:37
Oh, my goodness. I remember! But my stylus was never that clean! Voted! John Matt

CJ Burianek		27-Mar-2006 23:54
excellent image! Great to see someone else with a turntable!

Guest		17-Mar-2006 18:12
That sliver of amber draws you in, and it adds to the nostalgia :) ~V~

Boy! Do I!! And the song is stuck in my head too! "Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon Really couldn't get away too soon I can't imagine anything that's better The world is ours whenever we're together There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of . . . Groovin' . . . down a crowded avenue Doin' anything we like to do There's always lots of things that we can see We can be anyone we want to be And all those happy people we could meet just . . . Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon Really couldn't get away too soon Ah-ha-ha [3 times] We'll keep on spending sunny days this way We're gonna talk and laugh our time away I feel it comin' closer day by day Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly . . . Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon Really couldn't get away too soon"

Guest		14-Mar-2006 20:35
This is incredible Ray, the reflection is sublime. takes me back to the day:-) Big Vote, the orange adds a touch of class. Well done!!!Love it, Groovin is right

Donald Verger		14-Mar-2006 18:36

Chuck Inglefield		12-Mar-2006 20:23
great stuff....I still have one of these myself.

...duncan		12-Mar-2006 02:17
I recall those days. I can still remember trying to here the Kinks Superman over and over again by picking up the needle and bringing it back to the start of the song and trying to find the right grooves. Course' I do recall the eventual skip as well after a 1000 plays. BTW: Well done image, The movement in the image is excellent and the comp is great. V

KimKong		11-Mar-2006 20:35
Apart from old gramophone in Spain which had the most painful sound, it's been a while I haven't listen to those nice scratchy songs... What a clear and sharp image! Great light!

Guest		11-Mar-2006 15:35
Great shot (even if I am of the generation who was always breaking the needle on Mom's record player!)

Jim Ross		11-Mar-2006 15:18
Fantastic shot.. The lighting, the reflection... Perfect...GMV..

Karen Stuebing		11-Mar-2006 12:18
I still have a turntable and records. :) This is fanstatic and GMV.

Gail Davison		11-Mar-2006 08:04
I wish I could say I don't remember.... but I do. In fact I still have a large stack vinyl which I never play though I do still have a player. Very, nice shot - it would look great blown up on a canvas.

Guest		11-Mar-2006 08:03
that's a great one !

Karen Leaf		11-Mar-2006 05:48
'On a Saturday afternoon' just doesn't have the same beat. This is such a cool, retro shot Ray. Gotta vote.

Carol E Sandgren		11-Mar-2006 05:40
Wow! Beautifully shot, Ray! I can only imagine what music is about to play. ~Carol

type		11-Mar-2006 01:09
Classy shot, Ray. You're preaching to the converted, here. :)

Guest		11-Mar-2006 01:03
Of course, I remember! Wonderful image Ray, great quality, great composition, beautiful light, textures, and colour (love the partial desat... usually I'm not a fan!) v — l'Un.

Eckhart Derschmidt		10-Mar-2006 22:55
Of course I remember those days, or rather for me these days are not long gone. I still use my turntable every now and then. Great shot indeed!

arminb		10-Mar-2006 22:53
Perfect!

Guest		10-Mar-2006 22:36
And not one piece of fluff on that needle..

Guest		10-Mar-2006 22:10
It makes me want to take out my turntable this weekend but I just know the kids would destroy it in five minutes. Great shot.

Adalberto Tiburzi		10-Mar-2006 21:58
Yes! I remember the hi-fi 33 rpm LP revolution! (I should explain that I come from the 78 rpm non-hifi era, perhaps... ;-) Amazing technique, in this shot.

wernere01		10-Mar-2006 21:36
Yes I miss the old vinyl in these days of compact discs and mp3. Fantastic shot. gmv

Guest		10-Mar-2006 21:32
Those days aren't gone yet - I've got a big stack of vinyl right next to me. Great shot Ray, as always.

Sharon Rogers		10-Mar-2006 21:17
A smooth shot and the light is superb

Guenter Eh		10-Mar-2006 20:36
Yes, I do I do I do ran ran....

Bob Floyd		10-Mar-2006 19:51
Wow! Read vinyl with an actually stylus. How cool. I still have mine in my living hooked up and everything but don't use it much. Great shot, Ray. I love the lighting and splash of color in the middle.

JW		10-Mar-2006 19:44
Reminds me of the smell of a warm Dansette playing the latest Beatles single bought for 5/6 !! God I'm old! Superb definition, Ray - GMV

Guest		10-Mar-2006 19:35
I can hear the smooth jazz now! A great atmospheric shot. This all looks in such perfect condition, it could be used to advertise the record player. I think I would be tempted to buy one!

laine82		10-Mar-2006 19:25
Ah yes I do...still have one..out in the garage. Nice old memory Ray

Marisa Livet		10-Mar-2006 19:23
I feel banal, in using always the same adjectives, but it’s what your photography suggests me. Beautiful, honest, deep, tender, kindly self-ironical, elegantly melancholy. This is an essential and perfect shot. Marisa

Roy Birger Nilsen		10-Mar-2006 19:14
Oh yes,I remember it very well!You can not have such a personal relationship to the flimsy and small cd`s.Great shot that bring back good memories for most of us!Thanks!:-)

Michael Shpuntov		10-Mar-2006 19:12
Sure I do. Although I do not have anything from that era left, I still enjoy seeing this. Great shot. V

Jill		10-Mar-2006 19:05
OMG Ray, this is an amazing shot.

Guest		10-Mar-2006 18:57
Is it a picture from your archives ;-) Very well done, perfect exposure.

grafix72		10-Mar-2006 18:47
That's the strangest looking CD player I've ever seen :) (for the record I do remember those days)

Guest		10-Mar-2006 18:46
Your lighting is always so atmospheric. Love it.

SRW		10-Mar-2006 18:41
Wonderful lighting and orange highlights.... I have a large collection of these... -- must dig them out!

beverley harrison		10-Mar-2006 18:40
ahhhh memories! i love that splash of orange, it really gives this image a certain little oomf!!well seen sir!!

Scott Browne		10-Mar-2006 18:38
Excellent! Perfect lighting. Love it.

Faye White		10-Mar-2006 17:45
oh my - I certainly do!!! excellent shot Ray - the reflection is perfect.

Guest		10-Mar-2006 17:33
Great lighting (window?) that sets the atmosphere for the picture. I like the touch of color in the otherwise monochrome shot. Good work.

Carole Stevens		10-Mar-2006 17:26
Love the subtle light, great reflection on the moving record, well spotted and lovely idea Ray!I miss my record player Ive loads of old records.Those were the days EH!
