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. #275023

Gena A. Tussey July 07, 2005

Very nice image...nice perspective with "warp" on loft...really like this a lot! #1566230

Jill Odice level-classic July 07, 2005

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? :-) #1566254

Robert R. OBannon July 09, 2005

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! #1573402

Chris Macer July 10, 2005
