Goggles

Tabletop photography. These would normally be worn with a steampunk type outfit, round the base of a top hat, just above the rim.

I found these in a charity shop, they are actually made of plastic, with a horrible faux-gold colour........but by converting to black and white I was able to give them a more metallic look.

You got the metallic look well Keith. I love a rummage in a charity shop. This was a good find for your tabletop photography! I must say, I don't really get steampunk, but I like this shot :-))

Have a good weekend.

You have certainly given them a more dignified look, Keith. I hope they are appreciative!
I'm hearing more about Steampunk here on ipernity (nowhere else), and that from a standing start about a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say I have absolutely no idea what it's all about!

Genau den Gedanken an Steampunk hatte ich auch...oder an Rammstein, zu deren Bühnenoutfit diese Brillen auch gehören...aber als einzelnes Objekt find ich sie klasse!

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Tanja - Loughcrew ^club

Thank you Tanja. Glad you like these goggles.

I like Rammstein too, although I haven't listened to them (or any other music) for years as I'm quite deaf now and music doesn't sound the same via hearing aids!

You're never too old to start a new hobby :-)))
