that door serves as a wonderful frame. great subject.
Posted by tanner at December 13, 2004 03:45 AMwinter whimsy! the top-heavy tree and the door look like they're sharing a secret, or a moan about the weather...i like the warm/cold contrast, and that angled passageway framing the walkers too.
Posted by lynn at December 13, 2004 04:05 AMdude, this shot rocks. I really like it! Must be too cold over there, but anyways, the light-blue and red composition makes a nice scene, warm and cold at the same time, delicious.
Posted by Shaahin at December 13, 2004 05:20 AMWow!!I'm in the parking. Very Very beautiful.

Posted by Adem at December 13, 2004 05:26 AMWow!! I'm in the parking. Very Very beautiful.
Posted by ciro at December 13, 2004 05:26 AMwoah that's serious hardcore winter over there!
Nice photo, really feels like Christmas/winter
Posted by Ali at December 13, 2004 06:20 AMSharp shot! The colours are bright and bold, even in the distance.
Posted by Aaron at December 13, 2004 06:48 AMGood picture! It would have been cool to capture the gang walking through the door opening but then you would have missed the building to the right with the lights and trees which really gives a good feel to the image. -Aaron
Posted by Aaron at December 13, 2004 08:32 AMI don't understand how you can shoot something like this and Nathan Philips Square at night without a tripod, and get such clarity and no blur. Is the Canon 300D that different a camera? From my experience, anything under 1/60 needs a tripod. Great photos! But still a mystery...

Posted by designguy at December 13, 2004 08:57 AMwow i love it!
Posted by lily at December 13, 2004 09:13 AMExcellent shot as usual.
There's a 'Blue mountains' near Sydney too! Some Australians go to the 'Blue mountains' in July to celebrate another christmas. There's a chance of having snow there at that time of the year!
Posted by Babak at December 13, 2004 09:49 AMIf you cropped out the cars on the left of the tree in the foreground, and the cars on the right of the door, this would be post-card material :)
Awesome photo.
Posted by miklos at December 13, 2004 10:42 AMThat red door is so randomly fascinating. Agree with comment above--how'd you get such a crisp shot at 1/10 handheld?
Posted by Alec Long at December 13, 2004 10:49 AMFun shot! But I worry about where the rest of the house blew away to.....
Posted by Kathy at December 13, 2004 11:47 AMEverywhere could be a door,it,s up to us to open it.Very interesting shot.
Wow!!! I'm there! beautiful colors.
Posted by ciro at December 13, 2004 12:43 PMIncredible shot! Wish I was there.
Posted by Ron at December 13, 2004 05:10 PMIt is a bit Fargo-esque!
Posted by AA at December 13, 2004 06:29 PMHurrah, hurrah, finally snow and a real christmas feel and the shot has a happier feel than the normally serious mode.
Posted by pete at December 13, 2004 08:23 PMI can hear the snow crunch - that wonderful sound of a
good cold crisp winter. Nothing quite like Canada, eh?
Is no one else worried about the death-ray coming out of that street light?
Posted by Khuffie at December 13, 2004 08:55 PMWith 1/10s you're supposed to get at least some minimum amount of blur when your objects are moving... ie... the people. I don't think it's possible at all to take photo this neat with 1/10s and have no blu around the moving people. The points that you said in the forum about handheld slow shutter speed are mostly carried out by myself. You must have read wrong speed. Anyway, the photo is nice but just don't think the technical detail is correct.
Posted by nazzina at December 14, 2004 01:41 AM4 friends walking to a ski lodge in the snowy northern escape region of ontario... A common ordinary scene for most people... but little do these four friends realise they have already crossed through a door... a very special door... into what we call... the Twillight Zone...
Posted by scott at December 14, 2004 08:25 PMyou all noticed... it really was twillight at that time too right and the door right... (man im wasting this stuff...)
Posted by scott at January 6, 2005 10:02 PMI suffered christmas in Southern Texas. I LOVE these shots! Real Christmas
