Waiting for the Mail



Camera: D200
Lens: 28 – 105 Nikon
f/11 at 1/8
ISO 100
Manfrotto 055 Tripod

This picture is almost two years old. It was one of the first pictures I took with my D200 after switching from film. I was simply testing the camera. I went for a walk down the alleys in my East Vancouver neighbourhood and found this old door attached to a reasonably new garage.

I believe I used the mirror lock-up function because with a shutter speed of 1/8th of a second there is always the possibility of camera shake from the action of the shutter. I love old faded and weathered things. This door is older than I am. I wonder how many letters have passed through the mail slot.
