Iga Market Tunnel by Dustin Quiel-Athansiadis
GROUP B - SCORE 92 JUDGE: Robert Suarez
I took this photo last September in the rural Japanese town of Iga. It was the afternoon before a typhoon hit, so all shops closed early, leaving this great photo opportunity of a well decorated and lit vaulted ceiling with great symmetry down the hall. I got as low to the ground as I could to take this photo, ensuring everything would line up for symmetry. In post production, I balanced the exposure to brighten up the paintings in the ceiling that were too dark from the lights and lightened up the shadows on the walls. Because of good advice I received from the KCC members during the last get-together, I created a mask in lightroom to reduce the exposure for a board at the end of the hall that was too bright and distracting.
