Use this thread for posting your comments, and/or current/prior work for Assignment #101: "Windows, Gates & Doors".
I've always been fascinated by windows, gates and doors from an architectural perspective. Sleek and modern, or old and weathered - these three items make wonderful subjects to photograph.
In our motorcycle travels, we each get to observe tons of windows, gates and doors in various locales from boarded up ghost towns to the largest metro areas in the state. This assignment will focus on your ability to find a window(s), gate(s) or door(s) and present the subject in the best way possible. Think about ways to make the subject stand out, be interesting, tell a story, or make you question something. Concentrate on technical aspects such as creative use of composition, lighting, and DOF. And use your imagination to find one of these items! Some ideas off the top of my head include churches, a cemetery, high-rise buildings, looking in or looking out, boarded up and so forth.
Specifics:
1) Camera phone, point & shoot, DSLR, or even film; all shooters are welcome and encouraged to participate!
2) Post processing is allowed for this assignment.
3) All forum posting rules apply regarding suitability of an image to post.
4) Your photograph has to have been taken between now and Monday, February 25th at midnight.
Here's a few from my archives to get you thinking and maybe provide some inspiration....
