I think that a bit of infill lighting or flash might have worked wonders here. I would have set the camera on a tripod, used a small aperture and low ISO for long exposure. Then waved a hand held torch around to illuminate all of the pipework/tubing and connectors, especially up in the dark rear upper corners, in combination with slow sync camera flash. You may need to tilt the Camera's on-board flash head down a bit; for which you can make a shoe mounted bracket that works well for this sort of close up shot!

Thanks for taking such trouble to offer this detailed critique. I'm sure such measures whould have yielded a far superior shot.I think that a bit of infill lighting or flash might have worked wonders here.

I think, perhaps, the antique, cheap toy-camera effect I was looking for is not immediately apparent... Folks on this site don't often "get" anything slightly off the wall or "arty", so to speak!
