Red Doors

I spent a happy hour this evening out in front of the church trying to get an image for the front of this years Christmas Bulletins. Unfortunately I can’t reuse the one I used last year with the steeple in the snow as we now have new front doors on the church!

So, I took my lovely, old Canon 35mm f/2.8 Tilt Shift and braved the cold to take some long-exposure pictures of the new doors, and got a few nice images, including one I think will work quite nicely- though it would have been nice if there were some stars in the sky (but I suppose I can always add them in Photoshop).

It will probably need some tweaking to make it print nicely on our new Konica-Minolta copier, but I think it makes a nice feature of the red doors and has a kind-of winter, we’ll-leave-the-light-on-for-you vibe…
