Photo Assignments Revisited (2015): Windows & Doors

Windows and doors are portals between two separate worlds. They can lead into a new and mysterious environment, or be the pathway to freedom and life.

Do you have photo shots of windows and doors you are willing to share with us?

Please post them within this thread. We would love to see them!

Hi, these were taken with my canon 600D.
1 - f5, 1/30 sec. ISO 100, 18mm
2 - f5, 1/60 sec. ISO 100, 35mm
3 - f16, 1/8 sec. ISO 100, 21mm
Last one is a very bright sky, and I cannot seem to change it. Still trying to get to grips with paintshop pro. Any help would be welcome.

Regards
Jane

For PaintShop Pro, here is one way to alter the sky in the last one -

(This image has also been rotated clockwise slightly and default Sharpen applied.)

Cheers.
