really like 2 and 4. #1 looks like it isn't quite level but it should be if you know what I mean, there's something which doesn't quite feel right in it for me. Nice series though :)

What course were you doing?

[tank]

What course were you doing?

A Level Photography. Just finished.

[mobilevirgin]

well, you should pass with those - 1 and 2 are fab - well done

Great shots, love number 4. Number 1's good aswell, nice having the steps lit up more than the rest of the shot. The composition of number 3 is very nice but i don't like the harshness of being able to see the backflash.
How did you light number 2? The light seems to have carried a long way without overlighting the walls close to you. Is it PSd to be like that, or did you maybe use a narrow flash/torch?

2 & 4 for me too but a great set overall.
IMHO No.3' s a little harsh for my liking & not sure what it is about the 1st but it does look a little uneven to me too. These minor points aside they are excellent shots & I'm sure you'll have breezed through your course with shots like those :clap:

Great shots, how did you get to go down there, was it work?

[Mohain]

Cool series! Looks really interesting down there. Good job on these :)

[BALDYMAN]

wHAT GREAT SHOTS. I just did not expect to see somthing so nice from reading the heading. Love the colors. Well done:clap:

[tank]

Thanks very much people. I too think there are a few minor things wrong with them but considering im shooting in complete darkness i cant complain too much.

4D cell maglite which you can paint the light where you want it. Also with a maglite you can focus the light beam to be a smaller beam which goes a lot further down the tunnel.

Grand set Tank, I like 3 the most, the lights harsh but i don't care, wasn't quite sure what I was looking at at first, squinted against the bright light and saw it ... an excellent effect I think. :thumbs:

Where are they shot?

[chewyuk]

I really like these, 4 and 45 in particular - The curves are increable, great light as well.
How did you get in and where about in this ?

[tank]

Where are they shot?

They are all from a storm drain under East London nicknamed 'Deep Ochre' i cant remember its exact name.

[dougdarter]

These are wonderful. Congrats!!

Excellent series and very unusual, I like the fact that you did some light painting.

that is a drain called Heavy Mettle.

Deep Ochre I just found out is the North-Eastern Storm Relief.

I've already commented but had to say that I had no idea these were "light painted" amazingly done considering the conditions :clap:

[HIMUPNORTH]

Superb! Good effort mate. :thumbs:

Cheers mate. Yeah there is no natural light down there so i was using Red and white flashes. a maglite for warmer light. Also a LED torch which becuase the WB can handle it on the camera it come out blue.

All of this i couldnt do on my own so during each exposure there were 2 of us painting the light.

I like 3 and 4.
The curvature of the victorian brickwork is so amazing. They had talent!
