Assignment: Windows Oct. 7 - 21

[alphasco]

[QUOTE=sdhondatuner;698725]This is the wall of windows on the music building at my college reflecting the cafeteria building. I was looking for something different from the cliche falling-apart-wood-window-frame window shot I've seen reproduced ten-thousand times, so all metal is good.

You know, sdhondatuner, my old dad used to say, "Don't put your mouth in motion until your brain is in gear!"

I am hoping that your crass statement about "something different from the cliche falling-apart-wood-window-frame window I've seen reproduced ten-thousand times . . ." wasn't directly aimed at the post right before yours or anyone else's photo of an old window. Some may think that cold-sterile-metal-and-glass windows on modern buildings are cliche, but the wiser person would not dis someone's photo of something else.

DPS has always been a friendly, warm, and helping place to post, learn about, and discuss photos. Let's try to keep it that way, please.

Thank you for your opinion... I didn't mean to offend. I've personally taken the falling-apart-wood-window-frame shot a hundred times myself. I was looking to try something different and I'm not picking on anyone who has taken or will take that shot. Maybe cold-sterile-metal-and-glass is cliche too. But truth be said, and I'm sure I'm not alone here, the falling-apart-wood-window-frame shot was the first thing to come to mind when I saw that the assignment was "window." I hope we'll get to see new and exciting interpretations of "window" in the week to come.

This isn't your typical window but I have it titled "A Window in Time." This was taken at Mesa Arch, Canyonlands Utah, USA on Oct 9 around 06:30 MST. I see the arch as a window looking into the future just before the sunrise separating it from the dark, starry sky of the night as shown in the upper left hand corner. To me it's a message showing us all that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

i was lucky enough to assist shooting a wedding on the 11th. Here is the bride getting ready in front of a window. The lighting looked great -- backlit, but not quite silhouette. The small room didn't allow for a normal lens. I got low and wide. Lightly bounced my lp120 at 1/32 power off the ceiling to bring some dress detail back.

There are not too many nice days as far as the weather goes this week, but I got out yesterday and went looking for windows. I actually have three different pictures that I wanted to submit but I will just post one. This is a window at a church that had some very pretty flowers out front.
