Not a full #door for today's #CheesebeesPhotoChallenge2026Week22, but some beautiful details on an old #church door. #lock #DoorHandle #rust #worn #faded
Today's attempt at a #door photo hasn't quite come off as hoped, but thems the breaks sometimes.
Final hues of sunset reflected in the #door of my car.

Tonight @petedotnu and I checked out a #derelict #building in Sutton Bridge. We got our #door for the day, but I also got a photo of him getting a photo of the door.

Today's #door is at St Helen's Church in Wheathampstead. It's not even the main door of the church. But I've come to this church this evening for a good reason, which will be revealed on my next post.

One of the things I love most about #photography are the random chains of unexpected connections we sometimes make. I spent half an hour waiting in the car park of an eye hospital, in chauffeur mode, for a friend. I spotted a #door in the wall of a #factory exterior just across from a stream. A large ventilation unit was next to it. Architecturally appealing in an #industrial sense.

Later, while editing in Snapseed, I stumbled across a style suggestion that transformed the image. The heavy #vignette and aged tones reminded me of the iris-in / iris-out transitions used in #SilentFilms, particularly Fritz Lang's Metropolis - one of my favourite films, and long overdue a rewatch.

I ended up down a rabbit hole of learning about the New Objectivity movement and the work of Albert Renger-Patzsch, whose photographs focused on the beauty of industry, architecture, machinery, and everyday structures. I definitely plan on looking at his work some more.

Anyway, here is my #CheesebeesPhotoChallenge2026Week22 photo for today. Heavily edited, but I love where it took me.
This week's theme is #door

I went for a walk in town and got lots of interesting photos of doors, and other things too. This one felt like particularly pleasing. Check out the heft.
