Two Doors

Two Doors. A shot grabbed in one of the Bauhaus Masters' Houses in Dessau, Germany. The centre of the Bauhaus design movement from 1925-1932, Dessau was something of a design pilgrimage for me on my 2011 return visit to the region between Leipzig and Berlin. In the Masters' Houses I was part of a small group being shepherded fairly quickly through the various rooms, and I had to work quickly to record some of what was there as well as trying to take a few arty pictures. I'd already decided to fit the superb Nikon 12-24mm before entering the house. This was obviously a lucky shot as my companions made their way around the building, but was carefully composed none the less, and later slightly cropped to get the right hand wall running onto the corners. In competition the judge didn't like it – too much right hand wall – but I still disagree.

Technical: NIKON D300, f=12.0 mm, ISO1250, 1/80 sec @ f6.3
