Vanishing Point – heath ofee dot com http://heathofee.com Thu, 23 Dec 2010 13:50:43 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.6 Vanishing Point http://heathofee.com/2010/12/23/vanishing-point/ http://heathofee.com/2010/12/23/vanishing-point/#comments Thu, 23 Dec 2010 13:50:43 +0000 http://heathofee.com/?p=1446 This is a spot at the Excellence Riviera Cancun that I knew I had to shoot as soon as I saw it the first day. We walked through this long outdoor corridor at least two or three times a day, commuting from our room to the restaurants, the beach, and the pool. During daytime hours, this corridor isn’t anything too special, but at night when the lights are on it’s much more compelling. This photo was taken before one of my sunrise trips to the beach, so I was able to capture it without any other pesky tourists in the shot.

Originally, this shot included much more of the tiled floor in the foreground, but I felt the composition worked a bit better with the extra tile cropped out. I threw a few of my favourite Phototools filters on the tonemapped image, and then used the Midnight filter in Nik Color Efex Pro selectively to darken a few areas. This is exactly how I remember this hallway looking that morning:

I’m definitely no stranger to that feeling, and found myself in exactly that situation last week when trying to get a few shots of the setting sun before I turned my attention to the harvest moon. For me it was a bit of a double race since I was also trying to catch the gaps between cars so I could set up smack dab in the middle of the road for this shot…thankfully, I found a relatively vacant stretch of secondary highway just south of the city and had plenty of opportunity.
