A Splash Of Sun

My Wife and I took a stroll along this historic tunnel in my home town and when we were approaching the stone tunnel it was much darker, shaded from the sun except for this one clump of trees. I took a chance and was surprised how it showed up on my camera. I actually like it best in B/W. This tunnel was actually dug by hand in the 1800's and it was used to transport goods through the general area. The barges were pulled along by horses or mules. It's a beautiful area, though you cannot see much of it through this photo. Perhaps I will grab some more in the next several days.
love not only the B&W, but the reflections on the water ... look forward to a "bigger" view!

Feels mysterious...maybe a little menacing in black and white.

Interesting picture! I like the B&W! Night/dark pictures are really difficult for me!

Love the contrast ! Great shot!

The lighting is perfect in this shot. You couldn't have a planned it any better. Really gives it an interesting focal point.

Very cool, what an amazing shot, love the shining reflection and B&W too!

beautiful dramatic shot, rick. i love the symmetry created by the reflection in the water.
June 18th, 2010  
great shot...love the reflection and the light just in the centre like that.

That's a lovely composition of the trees with the reflection. Perhaps because it's in B&W, I get the sensation that it's late at night and there's a spotlight on the trees! I look forward to seeing more of this historic area!

Thanks for your comment, Rick. I used PhotoShop to edit out the background (which was white, but looked gray ...)

This is an awesome reflection shot! I love the effect the black and white has on the shot!

Gorgeous! Always love to hear a bit about where the photo was taken. Thanks for the history of the area. Makes the photo that much more interesting.

In photoshop there is an effect called Negative. Just apply that and play with the slide until you get something you like. Most good editors will have an effect similar

How beautiful!! I love the colors and the reflections!

I love this one, it reminds me of Jack Clayton's film, 'The Innocents'. Very mysterious and brooding.
June 19th, 2010
