noodle's adventures in photography... (lots o'shots)
 

I have had a fascination with doors and windows since I was a kid.
I think it's the bit of voyeur in me.
I was going to call this "Doors and Windows" (how creative, right?), but I actually spent a lot of time learning my camera and some shots came out amazing.
A whole afternoon in downtown St. Augustine wandering for about a total of four miles or so on a chilly, windy, sunny afternoon.
I had to shrink them, naturally, and some is lost in the modifications, but all in all, I was really dang proud of myself, so I thought I'd share a bit. :)

Those are great! I could see the doors and windows matted and framed as a collection on a wall or two. Hmmmm.

Great shots all around but I'm a sucker for shots like this one. Awesome bokeh.

Great work!

Great photos. thanks for sharing. The Bird of Paradice shot is awsome. I lived for a short time in Hawaii and have a Jones for Bird of Paradice flowers and fresh pineapple.

I want your eye. Beautiful shots.

Very nice. I always like ones like #3 because the straight on view makes it more graphic.

Thank you all so much.
It's the first time I really wandered around with the only intent of capturing pictures.
I appreciate the feedback.

I agree. I like the shadows in this photo. They are really good.

You have a good eye. I imagine, better than both of mine put together. I am just more interested in what is beyond a door.

I went back. :)

and the real reason we were there....

Old Chub... that makes me giggle.

"'ere, sweetheart. I've got an old chub for ya"

St. Augustine FL?

very pretty shots :) thanks for sharing

Charlatan, I wasn't brave enough to try the Old Chub, bu I laughed so hard I snorted. Had to take the photo on the fly as several people thought I was one of the deaf kids from FSDB and I was embarrassing my boyfriend. Apparently. I had the same thought... immediately. I stuck with Young's Double Chocolate Stout and London Porter.

Cyn, it's Florida. I live in Jax, about 40 minutes away from the downtown area in St. Augustine. I went to school there for four years... without air conditioning in the summer. So I have some fond memories and some sweaty ones... and not in a fun-sweaty way, either.

Flagler Alumni eh?

I had a g/f who was a grad from there and her family lived in St. Aug and worked in Jax. I really like that town. I hope to go back there again. Oh how I should have bought a beachfront condo there long ago....

there was some crabshack that we went to... it was yummy and divey.

Nice, noodle! I missed these earlier.

I love doors and windows, too. :)
