I used to think that I took good photos in Hezekiah’s Tunnel. I remember when most people’s photos didn’t come out and mine did (because of the difficulty of focusing in the dark). That was back in the days when I was mainly shooting students in the tunnel for the early IBEX website. But yesterday I had the chance to shoot some photos of the tunnel without students; ones that should have more general use.
As of a few years ago, this was my best shot (currently on the Hezekiah’s Tunnel page at BiblePlaces.com). It was used a few years ago by NationalGeographic.com when they did an article about the tunnel.
This is one of the shots I took yesterday. I think it’s better.
Curiously enough, some poster on a forum at dpreview.com asked a question a couple of days ago about how to get a good photo in Hezekiah’s Tunnel. Now that I had done some experimenting, I had an answer for him.
Wow! Those pictures are amazing, Todd. The way the light is distorted in the reflection on the water is really cool. Are you going anywhere during Travel Study Break?
I hope this doesn’t mean you are going to replace the picture of me in the tunnel.
Leo – Well, if you ever start asking for royalties, I will drop yours and use this one instead :-).
