Caption

This was a tough pano to shoot for two major reasons: Pedestrian traffic (tunnel lives up to its name) and Dynamic Range.

It is ALMOST pitch black inside the tunnel while bright and sunny outside. Also, the constant flow of pedestrians made it take far longer than the usual minute or two.

Oh, and let's not forget EVERYONE stopping right in front of the lens to ask you what you are doing, what magazine do I work for, where is the nearest bathroom, etc.

I loved the way the lines have a magical visual effect and so it is my favorite Panorama of 2008.
