I went back out to the Denver Art Museum yesterday evening for another crack at that wonderful doorway.

Love the shot. Everything is so crisp, clean, clear. Even the sheen of detail on the metal and glass surfaces is superbly executed. Then to have the warmth of the lights and sky in the background? Wonderful. Warm and cool all in one image. Take a bow, Sam.

Some shots kind of take themselves.
I’m finding that I really like shooting architecture.

i do like the idea of two (or more) versions of this shot. each says something different. this second one i find most inviting.
got a thought … if you end up back there again and think of this … does the image change if you bring the camera to about the 4-foot level, to where it would be, vertically, at the same height as the exact widest part of the outside curves.
or possibly lower than that point, so that we have this arch imposing a sense of grandness over us.
i have no idea if this makes any kind of difference, but it might be worth a shot.

When I go back I’ll have a look at that shot. One other thing I’ll be exploring is maybe some shots inside the little oval. Haven’t done that yet.

this. there is life behind the doors, there is balance in the reflection, and the warmth of the light inside balances the cool exterior. gorgeous.

Thanks, Kelly. There’s kind of a tension in the site that I didn’t really capture the first trip out, and going back nearer sunset was a good idea, I think.
