Red Tunnel
1sec, f/6.3, ISO 400, Canon EF-S 18-55mm II USM, Tripod, cable shutter release.

I hope you all like this one because I got bitten by so many mosquitos taking this shot. I still have itchy arms 5 days later!

WOW very strange. I just uploaded a tori gate photo just after you. But mine was taken at Fushimi-inari in Kyoto. Nice job with this. I know how the light can really suck inside the tori tunnels.

  Well worth the bites :-) I really love the colors and the way I am drawn into your picture wondering what's at the bottom of the stairs? :-)

Very funny. I was looking for Jason's submissions (so I wouldn't repeat anything) and I found that you two had also submitted the same subject material. How funny.
I really like the cleanness of the lines in this image. The Fushimi Tori are more haphazard, and the path is more random and rough.
And you're right, it's a real pain to take shots in this tunnel. I had my shutter at 3.5 so I could get my speed up to 1/30sec. It's a rough place to shoot, those Tori tunnels.
Great Work!
