I think you need to level the horizon, Les.

Nice tunnel you found there. Are those really official lane drawings, or did some child do those?

Official line drawings I'm afraid, in York there are historical buildings that literally take your breath away in their beauty, but a mundane task of paintng a few signs seems beyond the collective skills of the present York City Council

12-24 @ what? vignuetting?
Nice abstract shot Les,love the colour it came out.

Oh fabulous shot Les - I am chuckling at these guys trying to find fault with your picture I love how you caught the person walking through the tunnel too, gives it great perspective.

Sheesh !!! You took a 1Ds MKII into an underpass.

Interesting shot, Les.
I like the way the colour saturation increase towards the focal point.

Now that is a cool shot. Don't care for the tampon at bottom right though.

Hey now, I'm not trying to find fault. I just thought those drawings on the pavement were pretty funny looking.

Really a unique shot Les. The patterns made by the bricks and, as mentioned, the increased saturation towards the end of the tunnel are very nice. I got a kick out of those wonderful markings as well. What an artist that must have been.

Very nice shot Lesmac.

This just draw you straight in, well spotted picture Les and perfectly executed!

Amazing perspective. To bad the ground has dirt and specs on it. Can you tell me more about the 12-24 lens Les? Brand, your experience, picture quality especially for full-frame in the corners. Thread at the front? Diameter? A lot of sun flare?

The lens is a Sigma 12-24mm , one of the few extreme WA lenses that fit a FF camera. Picture quality is excellent with slight fall off in the corners, although I usually accomodate this with a slight crop (it's a wiiiiiiiiiiiide lens on FF), sun flare is no more noticeable than my 17-35mm F2.8.
Biggest drawback (IMO) is that you can't use filters with it as the front elements protrudes.

I find I don't use the lens that often, a bit of a specialist lens I suppose?

When the situation demands it, I do like using it.

Very cool shot! Looks like it could be a scary place at night, though!
