Light Tunnel

Description

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.

Exif: F Number: 4.5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/30 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 800, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 10.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D

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! #10003138
