Tonight I went to downtown San Jose, California. It was the closing night of the Sonic Runway art display, located in front of the city hall. The Sonic Runway (bit.ly/2GhhWRH) is a corridor of lights that visualizes the speed of sound. The installation consists of a series of concentric rings, each lined with 277 addressable LEDs. Live audio input is analyzed and converted into a variety of intricate patterns that race down the corridor at the speed of sound (about 343 m/sec). Standing at the front of the Runway, you can see the beats of the music rippling away from you.

 

I went to the side of the runway where the water fountain is and took this shot over the water with the Dream Lens to get these bubbles and reflections.

 

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the color balance and the curves. I welcome and appreciate your critical feedback.
