I adore the tone of this shot. So warm and inviting. It's everything I always imagined a front porchlight to be!
Not-so-obvious indeed! Then again, that's you! And it wouldn't be anywhere near as fun if you shot the obvious stuff. Mind you, even an obvious perspective through your lens is anything but routine.
Happy sigh...I could look at your pics for an age.
It's funny how many people are remarking on the angle of the shot and wondering how tall you are. Photographers routinely lay down or twist into weird positions to get the perfect angle - to me, whatever it takes. And you've really found an inviting shot here. It actually has implied motion in it, as the viewer wants to proceed in through the door.
Very beautiful shot. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy... and like it's fall :)
Happy WW and Happy Thanksgiving... Mine's up here if you get the chance to stop by: http://bendyruggles.blogspot.com/2008/11/wordless-wednesdays-11-our-little.html

Are you that tall, or is it hanging that low, or were you standing on something? How did you get this angle?

Mojo, mah peep! Didja actually take that shot at the local Motel 6?

Yeah, I too was wondering: are you that tall?
Nice shot!
No actually I'm not quite that tall. Me and my tripod climbed up in the bed of my pickup to get this angle. Mystery solved!
For some reason, there's this feeling of anticipation to this shot. Like the moment when a patron pauses before entering the geisha's abode...
Sublime.
Great picture! So warm & inviting! I love that lamp!
The lighting is just perfect and it gives me a happy feeling, warm, safe. . Of course I LOVE your pics so maybe that's part of it.
I love this shot. Lovely light, interesting shadows and depth, reflections all over, and a warm overall tone. Very nice. :D
Happy Thanksgiving. That light might bring dinner guests to your door tomorrow night.
i love the color and the place... it looks very calm and romantic for me. nice shot!
Great night shot. Those are so hard to do. It makes me want to knock on the door, come in, sit by a fire and drink a mug of coco.

That's nice! I like the peaceful look!~

Such a pretty shot. The light is mellow and inviting. Happy Thanksgiving.

Wonderful picture. I sometimes find it a challenge to photograph a light source at night without making it too bright and the background too dark.
there's some sadness in this photo...great capture of the light:)

I find this photograph very soothing. Love it.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving and don't get into any Knucklehead Mojo trouble (lol)..

Your lantern photo took me on a personal journey. thanks.
That's a very inviting porch...(unlike my own that is so dim I can't see!)
The White House
