As an invite to move forward and look beyond, does anything work quite as well as an open door? The house within, the next room, the outdoors and an escape from confinement. Or maybe nothing, maybe it’s better in here, or maybe it’s a ruin, and the door now leads nowhere. The open door is an interesting construct and aid for us to play with in our photography. From a technical perspective beware of different levels of brightness on either side of the door, although software nowadays does allow for an easier balancing of these light levels.
