[Photography] February Assignment
The assignment for this month is a doorknob. Mounted, unmounted, old, new, etc...post your best in this thread. We will pick a different subject each month.
Rules: The picture must have been taken by you. No googling and posting up other peoples stuff. You are the one that pressed the button to capture the image. You can post up a few pictures or only one. Equipment: Webcam, cellphone, point/shoot, DSLR, medium format, etc...it doesn't matter. As long as you are the person that captured the image. Post processing: Allowed. Some people shoot in raw. Some think it may look better in black/white. Some want to adjust color, etc...all of this is okay. Just don't chop something into the picture that wasn't there when you captured the image. If you don't use any PP that is fine too. You may want to note it in your post. Optional: You can post your EXIF information or equipment used. This is for fun. But please follow the basic rules. If you want to post a picture of 'luter dude opening the door at the Heineken warehouse...start a different thread Let me know, if you think the pics should be judged by the 'Thanks' button ? Maybe the monthly winner can get some Barn Bucks ? Or just post them up without judgement ? Last edited by Grey Ghost; 02-15-2012 at 10:23pm. |

And does the pic have to be taken during the assignment or a pic from the past ok?
My vote would be it has to be from the assignment. For me it will kick my ass into taking pictures and not looking through my hard drives. |

This is a picture of a Lock, not a Doorknob. And it was taken in March, last year.
Other than those disqualifiers, how's this as an example ??... What we have here is a nut on a chain which can exit through any one of those keyholes, and that chain holds that gate closed. As long as all those keyholes are occupied with those padlocks, the gate is locked. If any one of those padlocks is removed, the nut and chain can be removed through that keyhole. This is really just a more complicated implementation of multiple locks on a chain, like normally done... The 1st example may be a bit tidier, but I'm surprised someone went to the trouble. What I found interesting is the fact that they did. |

that it should be shot for the assignment, but if someone has a kickass photo in their files, I'd love to see it in the mix. Forcing yourself to see and photograph an everyday subject in a new way gets the creative juices flowing. It's much more fun overall. As for judging, using the Thanks button is a good idea because people can only vote once per post, yet they can vote for multiple posts. Voting can be done throughout the life of the thread till the deadline. We may even see the Barn membership soaring if people get all their relatives signed up so they can vote.... |

No pics from the past. Only ones taken during the month of the assignment. If you have one from the past that you love. Go back and try shooting it again. I think this will motivate people to open their eyes to their surroundings and get them off the couch.

I'm offering this creative idea to anyone who wants it, contingent on prior agreement to split the barn bucks 50/50 with me for this fantastic idea.
1) find child with tooth ready to be pulled 2) tie string to said tooth and to door knob 3) have some one else slam door shut 4) at the moment the tooth flies out of said kid's mouth, take high speed image of tooth in mid flight, with doorknob and kid in the periphery. 5) profit |
