It's an enigma

Literally.

 

For the black and white theme I thought I should shoot an object from a time when black and white was predominant.

 

These are the rotors from a three-rotor German Enigma cryptography machine owned by the United States National Cryptographic Museum and displayed at the National Security Administration booth at the RSA security conference in San Francisco, California.

 

Converted to black and white with the Ilford FP4 Plus preset in Digikam.

 

Strobist: Single 430EXII RT held just outside the frame above the rotors.
