About the Image(s)
This month’s image is a simple country church door photographed from ground level with a 14mm wide-angle lens. I don’t have the aperture value for this one but I’m thinking it was around f8 or so ( totally manual lens ) shutter speed was 1/40 @ iso 100. Post was done with Affinity Photo.
A little info about Yellow Pine church. It is a small one room church built in 1906 to service the local logging community

I like the angle and the leading lines, good capture. My only suggestion would be to try it in black and white, given the age and condition of the building I think that would work better. Posted: 08/01/2026 12:52:43
Thanks the leading lines add a lot to the photo. Black and white does work well with this, but like Dorinda I prefer the warm tones.

Beautiful doorway. Personally, I like this in color because of the warm tones of the wood and matching stone entrance. I wanted to feel like I am walking up to this is door and so I wanted the viewer to focus on the door. I therefore found the light fixture distracting. I did a custom crop and made a slight "transform" adjustment in LR. I placed a radial mask over the door and stone and inverted the mask, then reduced the exposure around the edges a little.

Like this doorway, I have some suggestions if you like it. Posted: 08/07/2026 23:19:08
I like this, possibly do a mirror image of the left to the right side Posted: 08/25/2026 14:47:15

Your subject matter is very interesting. The door is beautiful. Your ground level point of view is very unique and it appears to be the viewpoint of a small child.
Leonid has suggested altering the perspective to stop the convergence of the vertical lines and make them parallel. I think that exaggerates the ceiling and removes the perspective of the low point of view. On the other hand, Leonid has a good idea to consider. Here is a compromise in which I used PS Skew.

I would prefer the perspective of a long walkway by Leonid. Posted: 08/10/2026 15:11:13
