Spain Photography Tips: Doorways
Spain travelers will pass through them all day long, but many overlook the great photo opportunities that doorways offer.
When looking for Spain photo opportunities, think about the many shapes and sizes:
- historic building entrances with ornate doors
- old church and hotel doorways
- doorways of people’s homes
- restaurant and store doorways
- police station and public service building doorways
- commercial office building doorways
- people and animals standing in doorways
Consider taking pictures around a theme and making a picture collection. Fun can be had taking pictures of church doorways in every town in Spain you visit. Then, when you get home and print out the photos, think about the possibilities for photo collages.
