Light Tunnel


	Light Tunnel I couldn't resist playing around with another image from this LED-studded pedestrian tunnel. I cloned 2/3 of the original image and flipped the copy, then rotated the results 90 degrees to create an overhead, off-center arched tunnel look. I also applied a custom gradient map to push the shiny metal strips into more contrast, brightening the highlights. I also used a custom WB setting to create the blue tint throughout. Original source image in discussion thread. Chris Budny

Many thanks, folks! It was a fun, short ride (through the pedestrian tunnel on a people-mover/conveyor belt.) The super-wide-angle lens came in very handy!

Thanks Ellen!
And Claudia, I forgot to answer---it is a pedestrian tunnel connecting two museum buildings underground, at the National Gallery here in DC.
