"Vintage" - john*thomas's Choice

This week's topic is "vintage". I thought it just meant something old, but looking it up I got the following definition:

"denoting something of high quality, especially something from the past or characteristic of the best period of a person's work".

So going for high quality and something characteristic of the best work, let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!


DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY May 11
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 00:00 UTC of the end date.



The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

Re: Weekly Challenge May 11 - May 18: Vintage

Possibly a bit of a stretch. I don't know that this particular toy soldier counts as “vintage”, but it represents a sort of toy that has been around in very similar form since well before I was born. The concept is surely vintage, even if this specific item is not.

I found this toy soldier in a field, earlier today, not far from my home. Last week, there was some sort of fair/carnival there, and it occurred to me that perhaps if I went there with my metal detector, I might have a better chance of finding things of actual value such as lost coins, jewelry, etc. No, not really. I mostly found pretty much the same sort of junk that I have found everywhere else. I did find 21¢ in coins, most of which looked to have been there much longer than just since last week. And this toy soldier.

I had previously had a different idea as to what I was going to do with this challenge, but as I was sorting through my finds today, and this toy soldier again caught my eye, a different idea emerged.

Here is my entry for this week's challenge. It's been a long time since I've entered. I hope to be a bit more present in the future.
