Unlocked
previous / nextA couple of weeks ago I was just shooting a few things around the house. This is my cellar door latch. The ambient light from my front door was illuminating the old wood and latch. For whatever reason it just caught my eye.
The original image appeared black and white on the LCD screen of my camera to the point where I thought the settings had somehow been changed to black and white. They hadn't but there was so little color in the image, only the slightest hint of the old red/brown maple stain on the old door. I had intended to convert this to black and white and for a moment I thought the camera had started reading my mind!

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers.

Parts of doors seem to always make for evocative photos - they hit a metaphorical level in addition to being a good subject.
Ouvrir une porte, c'est ouvrir un monde !
Belle photo !
Wonderfully simple composition and great eye for the shot. Predictive photography...now that's scary!
Really a nice B/W picture, original use of DOF here!
Very simple and to the point.
Nice detail. Love the soft colors and contrasting textures.
I do love simple shots like this one. it is a perfect black and white still life shot. You have a great eye Laurie.
Lovely how something so simple can make for such a great image! Well spotted and even better executed!
Interesting Idea for a photo. I really like it!
the light is beautiful and this looks so natural i assumed it was a color photo of a b/w moment.
lovely composition! so nice B/W. A very good treatment of the gray, which gives a sublime creation of your shot…Siam
Nice B and W? and i usually do not like them. But the lighting in yours is so fine... Great picture
yep, simple but intense.. nice one.. :)
Love the dof.
So simplistic, but the lighting is great and your setup is wonderful. This is perfect in black and white. Very nice work.
Lovely balance and use of ambient light! :)
You and your camera are becoming one :)

As others said already, I also like the use of shallow dof and how the reflected light brings up the structures. A good choice for the use of b/w too.
This is really nice Laurie. Less is in fact more
Hi Laurie

Amicalement
That's a beautiful image Laurie...the mood you've achieved is delightful!
