What a difference the POV makes Great comparison

cool shots, both looking in and looking out !

Guess I need to go look at the other foto to see what people are talking about. But, before I do that, I have to say that this is so cool---it's a bit of history, still standing. Must be a very interesting place.

OK, question answered, it is/was a door. At least you know whether you are coming or going. Can't say that about a lot of people.

Isn't that door just marvellous! Two great shots which need to be seen almost together.

Superb capture Tara. The vies from outside an outside does look so completely different. God bless.

Wow, excellent atmosphere and textures.

Interesting photo...

Very interesting and a fine image!

"Cape Disappointment" I giggled at this, saying to myself; is that because you are disappointed when you discover there is only a quarter of the doors left hehe! Joking aside though, what a fantastic find, and you captured it well.

That looks interesting, the kind of place I would love to explore. And of course, where's the door?

The vibrant color adds some more visual punch to this version & the light reveals details in the interesting hardware components of the door that were hidden by the darkness in the previous shot. I think I prefer this one overall, but they both have their charms & make very nice companion pieces together...

A super shot of that old rusty door!

Some great textures in this pic

An interesting pair of photos - where the last one had an air of coming out into the light, this one has a definite feeling of mystery - more of those untold tales... This is awesome, Tara! I could spend hours in this place...

I would never have thought that the door was reddish from the other shot; amazing to see the difference from this angle. Well done you!

very interesting rusty door, and whats behind, you make me curious:-)

I know some UrbEx people who'd be drooling over this photo! It's a marvel! I love it and I love that used-to-be-a-door structure! Such a nice color and the shapes are amazing! Great. Now, the undying Star Wars fan in me is also thinking that this looks like a de-snowed version of Echo Base, long after evacuation! I love this!

Tara, because of time (I'm already at an hour and a half), I can't do everything, obviously; but I also can't do all your street shots (which I wanted to do). But you know how I felt about them from before. So bear with selections. As you know, I see everything and, more importantly, sit with everything; and at least I try to share feelings on things privately if I don't get to the gallery publicly. So my selections here aren't judgments that this one is better than that: Rather that it's representative of what you've done, no more, no less. Keep that in mind. In other words, I'm leaving out as much wonderful stuff as I'm including. But I've sat with them all, regardless... Another of your surface captures that has whole colonies and worlds within them, before we even 'get' to the interior. I'm sure it's a combination of your camera skills, your eye resonating with surfaces like this, and your postwork skills to bring out the highly complex poetry of such walls and doors. It's heavily alive. A surface in which you, like a symphonic conductor, signaled to the woodwinds to come forward on this passage, the brass to soar on that, etc etc., thus clarifying and vivifying the score as a first rate conductor does. It's in the way you brought out whites, shadows, the lines, scratches, mold, etc. So, this "look in" is as much about the surface before we look in as it is about the interior itself. In fact---to return to that "interior" theme---the wall and door feel interior because of the intimate detail you bring out in them. And the light on the left portion of the wall is almost luminous...Then, consciously or no, you have a broken metal beam in the door hitting the edge of a light-reflection---musical harmony---which lets the door feel broken-off in mid-sentence, and drives home the decay of this scene. A fine choice. The one bit of light, inside, is through an opening in the door---heightening the dark of the rest of the interior. And you've cropped out half the light on top (left half), because any more would draw us too much to it, rather than to the whole. Architecturally, it's about the life and decay of a building as much as about its formal structures; a kind of "inner architecture". And the "look in," for me, is as much a look into the wall and door itself as into the actual building interior. Beautiful shot, Tara. And very rich.
