20080927 - Door

The September Scavenger Hunt

#27 - Door or Clown

This must be the drunks eye view... or at least that's what went through my mind as I lay on the steps taking the pic :)

Nb. The blue here is natural - had the camera set for daylight but the door was in shade so it got a blue cast, I liked it so left it. Only other changes are a bump up of the overall contrast and a drop of the exposure, both in the raw converter.

I've been uploading some pics from my jaunt to Castle Howard today too...

Falling asleep in a church doorway is OK
but when you are drunk you need to pee
… and the font……..well don’t go there

I have to laugh at the pains you go to in search of the perfect shot - but laying down and making an exhibtion of yourself have done the trick. This is a fabulous door shot - I like the fact that it is a natural blue - Lovely ...
