Is that second photo taken in Venezia? Wonderful city, visited it in early December, hope to return in two months or so.

Rob, I said goodbye to shooting solitary doors many years ago.

I may post a few (but in a different thread.)

I like these a lot, Andres.

Post by: KLaban on January 10, 2019, 04:28:40 pm: Actually I lied, just found this one I shot a couple of years ago, although it's more doorway than door.

Nothing wrong with shooting solitary doors but after doing so for many years I simply moved on.

They are certainly compelling subjects and all have a story to tell.

Post by: John R on January 11, 2019, 04:31:18 am: Yes Andres, some old world charm, though I sometimes wonder why those old buildings have not fallen already. I know!! They are being kept up precisely by the doorways!

Yes, you would think they are weathered on purpose! But that is the charm of the region.

This is a Canon 18 to 135. I have been straighten the lines in Photoshop but most viewers seem to like the barrel look on some photos. Yes some wished I have done about photos like these ones.
