Skating, a photo from Uppland, Svealand

Photographer's Note

When I first walked through this tunnel it was full of busi people and so the effect of 'eternal' length was lost. So I went back to the place when the rush hour was over and the light still remained the same. Only few people were passing by - pedestrians, Cyclists - and this kid on his skateboard.

More information:
The Brunkeberg Tunnel in Norrmalm, Stockholm, is a 231 meter long passage way for pedestrians through the esker Brunkebergs廛en. The tunnel was inaugurated in 1886 by King Oscar II. (wikipedia)

Hi Thomas,

This is a stunning and exclusive picture you have presented. The round shaped tunnel and the curved lines aside and the lights have really made it a successful one.. The vanishing line has added more falvour.. and the child have given life to this wonderful image. Very very well composed .. Excellent work.. Now this is already my favourite.

Have a wonderful day.

Hi Thomas,
Simple, graphic and minimalistic shot. Great sense of depth. I love it!

A very hypnotic view. If the skater was exactly in the center of the image it was really perfect.
I guess this is a place to stay there for a while and search for the perfect shot.

Ha ha,

ich wollt irgendwann auch noch eins von dem Tunnel hochladen, der Gefiel mir auch sehr gut.

Geht sehr sch霵 in die Tiefe und mit der Person hat man auch einen Gr廲envergleich f僡s Auge, gut gemacht.

Beste Gr晧e, F.

HI Thomas,
A perfect graphical result, you have used the scene well, showing the depth and the lines with great power. The rollerblader in the centre punctuates and gives perspective.

a good one... one may say "simplicity" but, hey... it's not... it's creativity in seeing the things...

love this work...

best, j.

Hej Thomas,
A very fine and well taken picture of this tunnel. The lonely skater provides all the necessary life and action that is needed here. With the skater, the picture would have been quite uninteresting.

Hi Thomas,
Excellent shot ! I love the symetry and the perspective lines that add some great depth to the composition. The graphism is very strong here, I love it !

Hi thomas
What a perspective, as a zooming effect. the roller gives life to your shot, event if (s)he is too little for me (see my proposal).
BRAVO!

Hello Thomas,
You just took an awesome picture, here. The depth of field really adds to the fabulous perspective. It looks as though the tunnel was never coming to an end. The concentric circles create a psychedelic vibe and an incredible visual effect. The light management is perfect. Overall, this is a great, eye-catching photograph. Well done, Thomas.
Kind regards,
Christian

Hi Thomas,
Quite a special place. I guess the round shape is a result from tunnel boring machine. Symmetry and perspective work well. And one skateboarder is very good element to add life here. I also like those bands of light above.

Hi Thomas,

This one is such an eye-catcher! A very impressive picture due to its terrific depth and there's a wonderful pulsating feel about it which I like a lot. I can't say that this mustard color is pleasing to my eyes, I find it rather irritating actually. But here it creates sort of surreal ambience, especially with that kid's figure lost in it. Simply amazing.

All the best,
Marina

Hello Thomas,
I missed this tunnel in Stockholm. Looking at this picture I certainly regret it.
It looks like a scene from a science fiction movie. Like someone who goes (skates in this case) through a time machine.
The many near-circles provide a very special visual effect and a great DOF.
Best regards, Paul
