LIGHT SURROUNDING THE TUNNEL II, a photo from District of Columbia, South

Photographer's Note

LIGHT SURROUNDING THE TUNNEL I

Three months ago I had posted a photograph shot from virtually the same vantage point, Light at the End of the Tunnel. In that image the 60 meter (200 foot) long tunnel connecting the East and West Buildings of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, was presented with the walls of the tunnel in subdued light, and the end of the tunnel in brilliant sunlight. There the narrow parallel slats created an effective demonstration of one-point perspective. That image is well worth seeing as a counterpoint to the present photo. Recently, a light show designed by Leo Villareal, an artist from New York, was unveiled, completely inverting the light conditions depicted in that earlier image � the light areas becoming dark, and the dark becoming light. In Villareal痴 work, "MULTIVERSE," the passageway glitters with 41,000 light-emitting diodes (LED), inserted into the channels between its aluminum slats, creating a mesmerizing light show. The ever-changing pattern of lights are meant to mimic the universe (or still better multi-universes). The lights turn on and off in a choreographed manner, and create a swirling waves across the surface, and a suggestion of 鍍winkling stars, rushing water and bouncing polka dots.� What becomes clear in watching the patterns, however, is the random order in the patterns. The light show is scheduled to be on display through 2009.

I had my pocket camera on hand when I shot this image, steadying the camera on a post bearing a sign. Nikon Coolpix S600.

Merhaba Profes,
Fotoğrafınızda iki ayrı d�nyayı son derece doğal bir karede birleştirmişsiniz!
Sol tarafta zamanda yolculuk, geleceğe d�ş, uzayda bir gezinti gibilerinden bilim kurgu d�nyasına ait bir sahne g�yorum ben. Bu sahnede ışıltılı maviler de, bakış a�ısının verdiği derinlik de 輟k g�zel.
Sağ tarafta ise daha bir bizim d�nyamıza ait sahne g�yorum. Metro ya da alt ge輅t gibilerinden bir yere inen merdivenler d�nyası� Bu tarafta da yine derinlik ve parlak ışıklar dikkat 軻kiyor.
Ve b�t�ne baktığımda iki ayrı kompozisyonu tek bir karede g yormadan, gayet doğal bir şekilde birleştiren bakış a�ınız şahane!
Ellerinize sağlık,
Saygılar,
Burcu

Very original and well done image. Lights handling and quality are perfect. I like it.

Best regards Bulent.

PaulVDV (63440) 2009-01-17 12:46

Hello B�lent,
Indeed all these lights create the impression that you aren't anymore in a tunnel but in a much bigger space and also a bit the feeling of being very tiny in the big universe.
You've choosen the best POV; at the wall to the right side there aren't any lights.
Well done.
Best regards, Paul

pilpel-adom (3018) 2009-01-17 12:49

Hey Bulent,
Nice shot!
I like the perspective of the tunnel, the bright leds and the men at the distance that make a good proportion for the whole scene...
TFS!

It must be a stunning sight to see this in reality. The perspective is the key to the enjoyment of the image as we almost feel sucked inwards. Excellent quality from your little compact!

Wandering_Dan (3449) 2009-01-17 17:57

Merhaba, Bulent -

This is a fantastic shot, pocket camera or no. Superbly positioned, the lights forming diagonals sending the eye to the distant point of light where man and energy meet. And I have no doubt that you waited for the people on the slideway to reach that exact point.

Well done!
Dan

Hello Bulent,
A fascinating composition that could be out of a scene in a sci-fi movie. The pins of light with their cool blue tones have a mesmerizing effect. The depth and clarity are superb. Not an every day image. Thanks for sharing. The note is a useful adjunct.

jonathan_hart (21276) 2009-01-18 2:08

Hello Bulent,

That is an outstanding result with that camera!
And an interesting artistical vision on the inverting the light. It works for sure when comparing the two shots. Nice one!

Hi Bulent,
Wonderful light mangement and striking depth to this modern scene.
Beautiful lines and textures created by these tiny blue lights.
Reminds me of a MRI machine that I was once stuck in for an hour.
Things will be very busy in your neck of the woods this week.

This version with the lights on is very appealing and created a great visual/graphical impact! Fantastic perspective... people in the far gave a sense of distance.

Hello Bulent

How did I miss this fabulous image... I can't explain that ;o)
You've done such a great work to bring the lines out for a graphical and strong result.
The way you've framed is perfect to propel us into the heart of this futuristic tunnel.
Incredible shot. I think it's one of my favourites since several weeks !

photoray (13981) 2009-01-19 19:29

Very good "mystery tour" in blue going to the end and the curves and straight lines add to it. Congratulations.

phwall (6787) 2009-01-20 4:04

Hi Bulent,
I remember your earlier shot well, this shot is even more graphic than the last. What a brilliant light show Leo Villareal has designed, and you have captured it perfectly.
Wonderful depth and clarity. Ah, the value of a previous location survey.
Cheers
Peter

BWJ (3094) 2009-01-20 15:11

Hello Bulent,
This is a striking image of Leo Villareal's light sculpture in the tunnel at the National Gallery. Your note about it is fascinating! My compliments to you.

Hello,

you showed this construction very technically. the view is just fantastic with this perspective. and I also note the framing, which perfectly outlines the image.

MLINES (12516) 2009-01-20 21:59

Hi Bulent, Your Nikon Coolpix 600 does a remarkable job in your hands. A most creative POV with excellent outcome. I like this very much. TFS. Murray.
PS Good to see your Washington site (moon as bubble reference) for the incoming President today.

Angshu (56760) 2009-01-21 0:25

Dear Professor 'A'
I certainly remember you earlier post of the tunnel & what a contrast. Apart from the excellent perspective, what I like is the C shaped exit at the end, which was not highlighted in your earlier post. There's an effect of a vortex here as the viewer is sucked in to the end of the tunnel. With these lights glittering, it must be a scene to watch. Good work!
With Warm regards
Angshuman

trekks (14348) 2009-01-21 2:41

hi Bulent

Very impressive graphic view of the tunnel from your POV selection here. Purely showing the light+shadow effect in a best way. The lines of light is quite effective here to lead the eye to the end.

Thanks and take good care!

Hi Bulent!
I rememebre the other one and this one is also very good. I like the effect created by the lights along the tunnel and those people in background. Very good composition and good light!

Docarmo (9767) 2009-01-23 20:56

Hi Bulent,
I have to take your words here: "This is a beautifully conceived shot"! You used lights of the tunnel artistically! It may have a fantastic meaning, which is - we can find light not only at the end of the tunnel - it is a matter of point of view ;-)
Bravo!
MCV

JCG (35153) 2009-01-24 5:48

Hi B�lent,

This small compact Nikon offers a beautiful quality of image and emphasizes this futuristic tunnel well. I like much all these small blue lights which accentuate the prospect. A finely managed ambient light. Reassuring for the claustrophobics people !!! Good glance B�lent, cheer.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

stego (24132) 2009-01-27 14:25

Hello B�lent,
I did a pause of a few days and this marvel already got 114 deserved points... Not really a surprise, because it is really so attractive. The sense of perspective produced by the tunnel itself and wonderfully enhanced by the tiny lights is stunning. One has the sensation of being in the front of a futurist subway train. The compo is great and the the exposure is spotlessly done. That little gadget of yours seems to beat much high end DSLR's.
Warm regards, Jos�.

gervaso (28383) 2009-01-29 3:30

Hello, Bulent!

Wonderful tunnel captured here! Interesting how we see it different everytime we look at the picture, in a kind of graphical effect! The framing and sharpness are great! Well done!

Hi Bulent,

You choice here the right POV to surprise us with this strong artistic image.
I like the eccentric place of the centre of the tunnel at the right side which gives us many blue light lines leading to that point.

avene (12675) 2009-02-02 21:00

hello Bulent,
as in the other photo you mention, perspective has a very important role here, and I find the feeling of an endless tunnel fits very well with the concept of multi-universes. I like a lot the futuristic feeling of the cool colours of the lights arranged with military precision, but with enough random elements to prevent the scene from becoming monotonous. and I'm very impressed with the quality, didn't expect such a noise-free photo from a compact camera in low light. nice, very nice :)

regards,
Kristine

Excellent perpective with the rows of light converging toward the opening of the tunnel. And the blue-grey color is very pleasant.

All the best,

Emmanuel

hi Bulent,
if the real thing is even 0,5% as impressive as your photo, I really think I could have lost myself in it... =)
truly beautiful for me, who love light and its different temperatures and changes.
the off-centre end of the tunnel emphasizes the LEDs perfectly.
really a good shot.

Hi Bulent
what a strange impression to be in this tube of colors. Sharpenss is perfect. Very good idea of cropping. It's very well done

Hello my friend,

what great perspective and depth you've created in this fine image and the shaprness is spot on. Aren't the modern compacts wonderful? A superb capture Bulent, it feels like it's sucking me in.

Warm regards,

Stephen

p.s. Your usual fantastic scientific note is up to standard too!

Hello Bulent,
This image has already garnered a lot of attention - and deservedly so! The POV and execution are wonderful! We are taken right into this space, and surrounded on almost all sides. The DOF almost makes it seem as though the rows of light are moving towards us, creating an effect of opposite momentum in the tunnel. Really nice!

PJE (20758) 2009-03-02 20:42

Hello Bulent. I must say this capture of the tunnel has a very powerful impact in this frame. Excellent work to say the least. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Bulent,

it does not take too much, just a creative mind and the result can be outstanding. The idea here is simply fantastic and your talented observing eye captured it perfectly. The space just draws us in...like being hypnotized and swallowed by spaceous vortex of lights due to accented perspective. This tunnel now breathes. It has a volume, yes, universe feeling to it and it makes one stay in it admiring wonderful effects so perfectly displayed. I know I would spend here some time for sure. :)

Excellently seen and presented,
jeri

Hello Professor

even after a year i look into your gallery you still take time out to make great images..photos..stories..inspiring !

This one..well what can one say..youve nailed it with your coolpix..the intorduction of the lights from the edge way deep into the compo..impressive..the human element was much required and yet not distracting...

Goo graphic and visual appeal..enjoyed it

Cheers
Sayeed

B�lent Bey merhaba,
Yeni farkettiğim bu harika perspektifli ve m�kemmel 軻kimli resminize bakarken,bu muhteşem ışıkların arasından ge軻n ay bende ge輻im demenin keyfi nasıl g�zel anlatamam.National art museumun West binasındaki galerileri gezerken 輟k susayınca cafe arayışı ile iki kat alta indiğimde gd�m bu t�neli.Resminizde �ıkışta g�nen cafede dinlendikten sonra lesi galıcı idi ki, orada bulunan herkes gibi bende resimlerini 軻ktim,( m�ze planına bakmayı akıl edememişim), bunun sonu nereye �ıkıyormuş bakalım dediğimde b�y�k �l beni bekliyormuş meğer.T�nelden sonra M�zenin 1978 de yapılmış East binasına ge輻iğimde son derece ferah, modern yapılı atriumun tavanından,Alexander Calder'in mobil eseri b�t�n gkemi ile gelenleri selamlıyordu ve o anki mutluluğumun sanırım 錮s� yoktu.Bu g�zel fotoğraf beni yeniden oralara g�rd�.Paylaşımınız i輅n sonsuz teşekk�rler ederim.Bu g�n konferansınızda bulunmayı g�lden isterdim ancak emli mazeretimi biliyorsunuz,size bu toplantıda başarılar ve l�x cruise gemi ile yaptığınız Akdeniz seyahatinizin arzuladığınız gibi devam etmesini diliyorum.Sevgili eşiniz Carol Jean'a 輟k selamlar.Saygı ve sevgilerimle

Hi Bulent
This photo certainly shows that little compact cameras can do a very good job in the hands of a skilled operator with a great imagination. Tfs, Marlene

Urs (14082) 2010-04-20 20:12

Hi Bulent

Excellent effect in the tunnel captured perfectly. It looks really great and DOF is at its best. Fine color hues and sharpness. Well done

Thanks for your critique of my rural scene. Actually it's a white duck and not a chicken. I'm even not sure if this duck can be eaten. Some of the ducks working as pest hunter in the paddy cannot be eaten and as far as I know it's the white one. Also his beck is a bit different then to the colored duck.

Best regards
Urs

macjake (98544) 2010-08-03 9:51
