Barbershop Quartet Starts To Bristle At Two Interlopers by

These shaving brushes caught my eye at a period store in Sovereign Hill, Ballarat. I shot them exactly as they were displayed.

I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F5.6, 1/45 sec, ISO 800, focal length 98mm.

Featured in THEME THURSDAY, FEATURE FRIDAY, November 2011.

    Great find David. Well done.

  • Thank you, Barbara – the light was very murky in the shop, so I had to use the contrast in the best way possible.

    Cool shot and title! I remember my father using these when I was real young….we thought they were great fun to play with – he did not agree!

  • Delighted that you like the shot and the title, Maryin! Yes, I remember as a child, being fascinated by shaving brushes!
