Doorknob & Keyhole

Uploaded: May 15, 2003

Description

The doorknob was on one of the abandoned buildings in Bodie California It was taken with an hp digital camera. I experimented with levels and curves and decided to stick with curves which worked best with the color tones in the wood and the knob. I also used the rubber stamp tool to eliminate the suns glare and my reflection.
