Stunning detail that looks fabulous in B&W. Where did you find a 377? ~BV~

A fabulous and amazing image! The tones are superb. A veritable maze of gages. I can't imagine sitting there and grasping all the data. I would not touch any of the controls and hope everything went well. :) V

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen such crowded instrument clusters as these --- they're everywhere! Nice POV and comp.

The complexity of panels and instruments is mind boggling. a testament, however, to the creative and inventive powers of the human mind. Excellent b/w. V

LynnH		26-Jun-2014 01:26
Wow, this is am amazing bunch of dials and buttons. Good in B&W! V

Raymond		26-Jun-2014 01:18
Holy Cow ... quite an impressive and mind blowing array of dials of all sorts ... to think that all that + many folds can be stored in a single laptop today! But then again, when man went to the moon, the only calculators then were X-+ and divide!!! I love this shot in B+W ... quite striking.

Startling array of instruments Walter. Fine image in monochrome.~v~
