Sooke Harbour House. One hallway has mirrors all along one wall and at the end an opposite doorway has a large mirror set in a handmade wood burl frame. Too bad it's facing another doorway so that I couldn't avoid getting the handle in the shot too.
A delivery man was using the other door so I kept having to stop to hold the door for him and his dolly while trying to keep my tripod out of his way.

And a biggg thank you to Becky-Lee for reminding me about this spot to shoot. Love you, sweetie!

Holy crap - this got right by me without even-so-much-as a smart ass comment! And now that I have a yellow ribbon for the second camera portrait challenge, I somehow feel related to you. :)
A VERY late CONGRATS!!! and quite the setup! Smokeless smoke & mirrors. :)
This was a really smart idea, and well-executed. It's interesting how well this shot fits in with the other challenge entries on your profile page - repetitive patterns are repeating on you ;-) Thanks for explaining the set-up too, that was interesting to read. Congrats!'
(edit typo)
This is perfect that you took this shot with a camera that is not as perofessional as others'. It made me happy, because my is like this too, so i hope to take photos like you! I hope you good things...
Love it. There is a sensation that the camera is falling down or flying about like one of those Star wars arial machines. Congratulations on your Yellow.
Congratulations, you have MET-THE-CHALLENGE, fear is not a factor. In 1st place the camera is not in the limelight or the main subject. Although, maybe a girl's leg covering the doorknob could've gotten this one to 1st.
The burled wood add the luxury and elegance of a Rolls Royce dashboard.
The handle could represent the way to open the door to a whole new universe from the veiwpoint of the camera. :)
Didn't enter this challenge but I just had to congratulate you on your first ribbon. I love this shot - the colours are stunning and the whole idea is great.
I like this shot. It is very creative. I don't know if too many others will because it is abstract and different. But it is a winner in my eyes. The title fits perfectly.
