Is this what they mean by "tunnel vision?" Very cool shot, Shay! ~Linda

A very creative idea that makes for a great photo. I especially like the way the neon streaks mimic the lines of the ceiling and walls. (Reminds me of the 80s video game Tempest -http://www.yesterdayland.com/popopedia/shows/arcade/ag1151.php - and in response to the question in your mind: no, I don't get out much.)

I'm sure it's just my own neurosis, but the person on the right of the photograph kind of freaks me out. The photo has this otherworldly appearance and, from the viewer's perspective, some unknown person seems to be staring the viewer down (and in response to the new question in your mind: no, I don't take mind altering drugs).

Thanks for the info, it's a great shot. I was hoping you'd done it with software so I could learn a new darkroom technique... :-) Kerry

I set the camera on the moving walkways hand rail, and made the shutter speed 8 seconds to get the streaked effect. Probably took 6 photos before getting one I liked. - Shay

This is an interesting image. Would you mind explaining how you achieved this effect? Kerry
