Thanks Mike. It's good on occasion to come across a place that hasn't been altered. Seems to have been quit shortly after the being wired for electric lighting. Gave me a good idea of what our place must have been like before all the various `improvements' to keep it habitable ;)
Kind regards,

Can you see the doorway?

Love this, Randy. Was in SW Virginia a few years ago for a wedding and was enthralled by all the old abandoned buildings. This was before I started LF. I took a lot of digital images that I liked at the time--not so much now. Very nice.
Thanks Bill. I have driven by a hundred times, watching the tree getting taller, and saying to myself - "One day I'll pull over and take a picture".

Good thread idea Ken. I have a few door pictures, some of which pose the old question "Green door, what's that secret you're keeping?".
The first is a triple doorway at the ruined Tintern Abbey in Monmouthshire.
The second is one of the barn doors at the medieval Bredon Barn in Gloucestershire.
The third is the door to the anglo-saxon church at Deerhurst in Gloucestershire.

I love the idea for this thread -- and many of the images in it. So I'm going to give it a bump by posting one of my own back door.

It's mysterious and well-crafted, but may not have an equivalent degree of sheer beauty or whatever makes a third leg of the "tripod". If there were a story connected to it - if it were a documentary image - then it would be brilliant. As a standalone image (in my humble opinion) it needs something to complete it, to compliment the mystery dimension.
Here's a variation. I'll remove it if you like, since it is more than a mere comment. I've exaggerated certain elements, and diminished others.
Your photo reminds me of a door photograph that has always impressed me, by Paul Strand. Among its many admirable qualities, is a "spiral" carved out by the alternating layers of architecture.
Hi Ken,
Thank you for your comments, with which I heartily agree. I only had a couple of lenses with me that day, and my time was also limited. My intent was in part documentary, to show as much of the architecture as possible, as well as artistic, and the compromise I came up with leans too much toward the documentary side.
I love the Strand photo, of course, and I will have that in mind should I be able to get back into the building. I think a longer lens will be better, leaving out the skylight, which will still show the planes created in the ceiling. But the distant door and outer door/window will be more dramatically central to the image. I will certainly post the resulting image, if I can get back in there soon. Thank you again for your thoughtful analysis!
Dave

Any feedback welcome. Advice on how to get a smaller imge to display would be really helpful!!
Thanks

Hi Ken
I am happy the way the image appears here.
When I preview the post it appears to be enormous.:confused:
In preview the image filled my screen - in the actual post it looks a different size. I guess if I stay with the settings that I used it should be constant - fingers crossed.
Thanks
Andrew
The image you post posted, is itself 611x480. Since the image is hosted elsewhere, when you embed it in the page, you get it at 611x480.
If you re-size image on the hosting site, then it will change size here accordingly, the next time you load this page.

Great topic, enjoyed the work so far. Recently spent some time in Bodie so why not post this one. Subject is the chair really, but taken through a window, through a doorway and includes a door, so I think this qualifies.

Doors at the Roseland Ballroom, NYC, April 24, 2003
Three Doors from a historic John Gaw Meem designed house. Originally shot for New Mexico Magazine about 25 years ago. Allot of lighting went into this-no natural light. I can no longer remember how exactly. I'm historic too. 4x5 Ektachrome something probably a 90mm Schneider.

More practice. Shen-Hao 45A, Fujinon W 250mm f6.3, Acros 100, Rodinal 1+50, Taco, MDC. 1/15 @ f27.0.
Advice appreciated and needed.
The lines are not straight. Either the camera wasn't level, or it wasn't perpendicular to the building, or the building itself is off a bit. If you view the image with a grid superimposed, this will become evident.
Also, the tones can be adjusted to be deeper, and bring out the rich textures you got by shooting when the sun was low in the sky. I'd say it's off by 1 zone.
Ken,
Thanks for that. Will try again.
Cheers, Tony
The "sunny 16 rule" says that under bright sun, we shoot at the ISO of the film, at f/16.
If you shoot Acros at 100, then the exposure would be 1/125 at f/16, or 1/60 at f/22, or 1/30 at f/32, or 1/15 at f/64. You shot at 1/15 at f/27, which is between 22 and 32, so it's around 1.5 stops over. (Of course, later in the day the light gets weaker, and your exposure may have been off by less).
If you wanted greater detail in the shadows, that one stop extra exposure would help - but then you would want to develop less, or adjust the contrast downward, to keep the high values in place. That would be N-1 development in darkroom terms.
It's easy to adjust the contrast curve in Photoshop, to bring down the upper part of the scale. In this version, the bricks feel like bricks, the wood feels like wood, and the brass feels like... brass :)

Ken,
Yes, I did overexpose. Bought a small level today to assist with levelling. Following your advice and example with curves, I played around with exposure, curves and white-point and got a much better image. In fact the small white notice on the door could then be read (at 100%) whereas it could not in my first version. This type of advice is what makes the Forum so valuable to beginners. Many thanks.
Cheers, Tony
