One gets the impression that they used to put more care and craftsmanship into everyday objects. So, since the challenge dealt with doorknobs, which are quite ordinary and to which no one gives a second thought after they turn them, I thought I'd like to portray one that conveyed a sense of history. An old one, in other words, and in La Rochelle, France I had an embarrassment of riches.
This was taken on an overcast day, which is my favorite type of day for photography. The clouds attenuate and disperse the sunlight in a way that kind of imparts a silvery sheen to everything. I raised the contrast a bit, left it in black and white, lowered the blue channel, raised the green a little, and the red a little more.
