Challenge to all members - Doors

**plugsnpixels** · 01-08-2017, 04:01 PM

While keeping Marko's comments in mind (controlling post processing so as not to cross into mixed media territory), here are a couple more doors.

The first I chose to render in B&W to accentuate the strong shadows. The second (from a Rose Parade float) is only minimally processed to balance it out.

Both nice shots and interesting doors Plugsn

Just an observation and I dont want to be too draconian here, but the idea is to post one only photo a week. My thinking behind this is to build discipline in editing. By editing I dont mean processing the photos, but rather the self critiquing, identification and selection of photos. It is surprising how hard this can be. A while ago I identified this as a major theme of Ibarionex Perello from "A Candid Frame", and since then I have tried to improve this myself. IMO it is a valuable skill to actively learn.

Having said that, you do what you want here. I really dont want to be a "photo Nazi" - you do what works for you

Thanks Runmointy, no problem. I just wanted to get back on course using Marko's advice.

I will "shut the door" now... ;-)

Thanks. Kinda dark and dismal to start... not a great day for photography but I try to make the best with what I got.

I didnt manage to get a new door this week, so here is a left over from the previous week.

Am I a week behind? Time flies so fast.

Not a fascinating door for most, but for me it is the one I walked through 26 years and 6 months ago when I got married.
