Coming out of the Dark


There is a tunnel that connects one side of a crazy-driver laden travel way to another, and leads to the beach. I went to the bottom of the staircase and took a bunch of pictures from the bottom as I worked my way to the top. This is one of the pictures that I really liked because you can see the "paradise" that awaits when you get to the top of the stairs.

  1. I love the framing in this picture! And the steps really make it feel like you are walking up and out. What kind of lighting did you use?

  2. I think you nailed this assignment with this photo. I really wanted to find a photo like this, and I really struggled with it... In fact, I wasn't able to find anything like this...

    The concept of a dark hallway/stairway leading way to a bright and sunny outdoors is really brilliant.

    This is probably one of my favorite photos.

  3. Thanks so much, both of you!!! I didn't use any lighting, other than that of mother nature. I took a lot of pictures in this series because it was difficult to capture the palms without the sun glaring them out. I have to say that being away from home was really advantageous for me this last week... in many respects, but especially for taking pictures.
