I don't mind the missing door trim at all. Perfect lighting seeping through and wonderful shadows! The slight grain adds a nice touch. Bet this would look great in b&w, too!
If this is in your house, I envy the 'emptiness' at which you could shoot! Fantastic looking room!
For the record...who is Peter...and where did he go??

Hi Janet! We just moved my mother in with a sister, as she is selling her (this) house. I have a fantastic studio for a couple of weeks!
Peter - heh heh....not at his "gate".

sammy - lol, yes, I have tripods...just not always with me.
Maybe a Nikon D70..gotta do some research. What do you recommend?

Onur - thanks! Indeed, some of the shots did well in B&W...actually probably better than this shot, perhaps at sometime I should post one.

Hi Kes-
I dunno about cameras. Even though most photography can be done with inexpensive cameras, I would still go for the best you can afford. I like my S2 Pro well enough, but the new Fuji S3 is quite a bit more $ than the D70. The only (and rare) problem I have with the S2 is not being able to catch fast moving subjects like flying birds in focus. Maybe I just need more practice. In other words, maybe the higher performance AF systems of the much more expensive D2H or D2X might not benefit me at all.
There are two nice things about my S2. Fuji allows you, and even tells you how to clean the sensor, which I have had to do twice. Nikons have to go the repair shop. The other nice thing is my S2 uses AA size high performance nickel metal hydride batteries, so I can use the really great Maha chargers. Widely available alkaline AA will also work in a pinch. Furthermore, I don't really want to have to deal with installing Nikon software and learning about their propietary RAW format. This last bit might not be that big a deal but just reading about it is makes my eyes tired . Hopefully I won't have to buy a new camera for a long time. I don't know what your $ situation is, a D70 will probably be great for you, and you can always use it for backup when you eventually get a $five grand model. Hope I haven't made the choice even harder by writing this...

I love it Keseph, the light coming throught the door is wonderful, love the yellow and the rich tones of the chair, and the simple composition, the vignette works perfectly here...Linda

I wonder if you couldn't extend the canvas size and clone in a corner? Just a thought. It's a really nice photo even without the corner. Says LONELY!!! You've created a poignant mood here.

Susie...I don't have a clue about "extend the canvas size and clone in a corner?", but I might stop by the house and take some more shots.
Thanks for your comment, I didn't know if it said "alone" without the title.

Sammy -
posted this earlier...I thought...try again
- What camera? -
What is this money stuff? What tree it is from?
Seriously, though, I agree that you/I should buy the best that is possible. The D70, make that a used D70, might be in my price range.
Those kids want to eat every day...so anyhow....
:-)
I'm not sold on the D70, just looking. I came across this interesting thread this morning
http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00BdG4
and the search and research goes on...plastic body on the D70, metal on the D100...
Seems like we discussed this previously on another thread elsewhere...I'll have to check.

Peter, for me it was a toss up between this image and 'cattails in black', this is 'the winner'!......the shot is well composed, the idea is simple and effective, the image leaves a lot of questions unanswered which makes it exciting from where I see it, well done, good work, cheers, david.

Very exciting angle - I'm glad you didn't have a tripod, this is what makes it interesting (looks like you're crawling) + the light coming through the door + the empty chair ...and the title is priceless.

David, thanks for looking! My original working of "cattails in black" wasn't as "correct" as the UF image, but somehow I think it was better...I may repost it sometime.

I cant even begin to tell you how much I love this image... the framing and composition are so original. The tiny glow comming through the door leaves such mystery too. This is fantastic!!

Amazing shot, wonderful angle. What really captivates me is the yellow glowing light from behind the door. -Tim
