Tunnel of lights Photo

Photographer’s Note

The tunnel under the Huang Pu River between PuDong and Puxi.
30 Yuans just for a few minutes trip but with a spectacular light show.
To me, it's a bit expensive, I paid for it once, and I will not do it again. Some may wonder about the usefulness this attraction (you can reach Pudong by subway for just 2 yuans), I guess it is to show the modernity and the dynamism of the city ... and of course to make some substantial benefits ...

Anyway. trying to take a picture in there is pretty arduous, it's almost impossible to hold still, it's a bit fast and you never know what you are going to shoot !

That tunnel looks a lot better than the ones around NY! Nice composition; nice shot.

What a great result under what must have been almost impossible lighting conditions. Well done!

Judging by your description I think that the 30 Yuans wer absolutely worth it. You got an unique shot here. The composition is perfect with the tunnel starting on the right side and winding to the left side and the white-blue colors framing the orange tunnel. Great job!

Hi, we seems have the same interest and same habit. Lazy to carry tripod.
This is a nice and unique picture. This tunnel is for vehicles or pedestrian only?

Hi Iv-Ty,
Really weird scene of this artificial environment. And well caught shot. At that moment yuo were not moving that fast. Blue dots and yellow stripes are a funny combination.

Hi Iv Ty,
Man, that $30 gave you this wonderful picture. Of course you devised an excellent angle of view to maximise the optical illusion. One of the most interesting piece of work I've seen. Seems that I'm lost in wonderland!

Hi Iv Ty,
I was going through your gallery today and was pleasently surprised to see such beautiful images. This one is a gem! I guess China is taking huge strides in development and it is sometimes nice to be spectacular.
With Greetings from India
