Focus On Life Week 12~ Observe the Curve

I had more fun with this weeks challenge.  I was going through an old desk I have in my sunroom and I found, much to my delight, a box filled with old doorknobs.  Doorknobs evoke many feelings, but these were just begging to be photographed in a unique unusual manner. 

So I did.

The first knob I photogrpahed just the way it was.  It is full of curves and faceting that refract light.


I took over 40 photo's of this doorknob and another similar one.  This next one shows details inside.
 
 
Then I got the bright idea to add some color...
oh my it was WILD!!
 
 
And I couldn't stop snapping and changing things out,
trying to get different patterns and curves full of color and details.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Life can and does throw us a curve occasionally.
  But I wanted to photograph it in a positive light.
 
Click the pics to see a bigger view and all that cool curvaceous color! 
 
Thanks so much for stopping by this week!

    Hi Donna, I love your post! One can get so engrossed in the process of photography that before you know it you've got a few hundred shots! I can see why you were inspired. You inspired me too! Absolutely wonderful subject and photos.

    We have those crystal door knobs, and it never occurred to me to look for the extra curves! Great series!

    Thanks for your comments! A friend of my suggested I print off 3 of them in a collage. I may just do that sometime, lol.

    The curviness of the door knob is so beautiful but adding the color just turns it into the most stunning art!
