Another door

Why are we so attracted to doors when we have cameras in our hands? I suppose a door presents us with an easy shot. It's still and more or less flat. No serious lighting, focus, or depth-of-field issues to make us crazy.

The geometry of doors can be interesting, too.

This door is in the nearby town of Montrichard. I liked the metal parts, especially the spiral handle on the left.

  1. I think doors present a kind of mystery that grabs our attention.

  2. I think it's all as you say, which is to do with our brains making patterns and we are hard-wired to do it. This door has a lovely subtle silvery tone -- nice shot.

  5. I agree with Starman and Anne Marie.... every unknown door presents a mystery... BUT... they are also very great subjects for the camera... either in their surrounds... or like this as a series of shapes and textures... in this case the metalwork in contrast to the great woodgrain does it for me.

  7. The hardware on this door is different. My camera would be aimed at this door, as well. Obviously this was custom made???

  8. For some reason I find this door strangely erotic.

  9. The Door is a great archetypal image; it has a lot of psychic energy and intrigue. We can't help but wonder what is on the other side.
