The light at the end of the tunnel

We are currently preparing an art show in San Jose, California, called Travel Perspectives: Explore | Experience | Connect. We are three San Francisco Bay Area photographers who share our perspectives and styles in an exhibition celebrating the intentional and opportunistic traveler. If you are nearby please join our opening reception at the Art Ark Gallery on Friday, September 2nd. In September and October we'll offer 6 presentations about photography and travel. See details at www.artarkgallery.com/travel-perspectives.html

 

I'll exhibit this photo at the gallery. In summer of 2020 we went to the Hawk Hill, located in the Marin Headlands just north of San Francisco's Golden Gate. Waiting for sunset and moonrise, we lingered around at the top. When it was time for moonrise we walked through the tunnel. The sun aligned perfectly for a tunnel-henge, casting a long shadow on passerby.

 

I processed a realistic, a paintery and a photographic HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
