Hi Bart,

That's looking very "Spielberg". Half expect that door to open and find ET aglow on the other side.

Great effect!

Some of the shots of my door using a bit of extra light from my iphone flashlight app. Used white and green and the funky pattern is due to the mirror protector film on the face of the phone.

Hi Bart,

Great stuff! Appears to be some sort of serious 'energy vortex' going on behind those doors.

At this point in the movie, the audience would be saying to themselves, "Don't open the door!".

Reminds me of a famous movie quote - if you can call it a quote????-

" It's a door "

Stating the obvious when the teenagers see a door appear in front of them from nowhere.

PS anybody game to guess the movie?

Been a busy of late, AND I forgot that it is a short month this month. Went for a bit of a shoot around the city today so I would have something to put up.

Here a couple of shots that didn't make the cut. I have to decide between three others (have to do that tonight)... which, when you think about it, has a pretty productive shoot... may not have quality, but has production . All shots taken with my work PowerShot A2000 IS.

1. Not really a door as such, but the northern nave in St Johns Cathedral in Brisbane looked pretty cool.

2. View to the front facade of Mason House.

3. At the entrance to the Cathedral is what I assume is a access door to the one of the towers on either side.

4. View of the enrty to the Cathederal.

A bit of info about the Cathedral. The entrance was finally completed in the last few years after work on the Cathedral was started over 100 years ago. An extract from wikipedia:
"The first stage of construction began in 1906 and took four years to complete. This included the chancel, sanctuary and ambulatory, the quire and its aisles, the transepts and crossing, the Lady Chapel, to the liturgical north of the quire, the double aisles and the first bay of the nave.[1] This stage was consecrated in October 1910, but consecration of the full building (like construction) has been achieved in stages.[3] After the Second World War money was raised in the hope of completing the Cathedral as a war memorial. In 1947, Field-Marshal Viscount Montgomery laid a foundation stone for a further two bays of the nave,[8] but construction ceased after the laying of the foundations until 1965 when the second stage was commenced.[5] Work on the second stage proceeded for a further four years and consisted of the laying of foundations for the extensions, a two bay extension to the nave and demolition and removal of the temporary west wall.[1]
The third stage of construction commenced in 1989 and was completed in 2009 (with the exception of 29 life sized statues on the west front and a set of cloisters on the north side of the Cathedral which have yet to be commissioned). The third stage of construction has comprised the erection of the south west porch, the final bay of the nave, the west front, the north and south towers and the central tower. The third stage of construction was overseen by Peter Dare, Master Mason of Exeter Cathedral in England. To ensure enough supply of sandstone for the project, the Cathedral authorities purchased a sandstonequarry at Helidon, 100 km from Brisbane where each piece of stone was cut and finished and then trucked to the Cathedral site in Ann Street."

Here are the last two I was considering. I thought that the first one was the best for the session, until I saw the one I entered on the screen. It is one of the side entrances to the Cathedral... bad Fung Shui? No 2 is the front entrance again.I'm going to bring my camera to work tomorrow and have another go at this place... very cool masonry.

Nice door ken but for it to be a real OZZIE door it would have thongs for hinges I have done that on many occasion when we lived on a small farm in Eungella

Was a pretty tough assignment this month, IMHO. I was wracking my brains to put an interesting angle on this commn everyday object, as did others, as evidenced by the quiet showing. Seems pretty quiet in the responses as well.

Good luck to all for their interpetrations on the topic.

Yeah, I had a few ideas, but I did not have the time to execute any of them... very tough challenge.

But some great entries there
