A long disused train tunnel. The tunnel was closed in 1 July 1955 after an accident on the line. Today the tunnel is in very good condition and has been capped at one end. I can't remember how I lit this shot and the more I look at it the more it confuses me. Fuji Sensia 100

Looking at this shot ... me thinks you had low torch batteries me thinks. Probably a crappy dolphin torch by the looks of the filiment markings where you've done some painting Picasso ... along the top where the soot is, you ca see each side lit up more distincly than most of the rest of the wall ... that wierd blur in the top right? I'd say that was one of the Ghosts of G.O.D. as for your ghosting ... perhaps you were in the middle of the shoot and your mom told you to clean your room ...

ah! I think a diffused supertorch was hung from the tripod and used to light the middleground and the poser. Then a normal supertorch was used from behind the camera to expose the length of the tunnel and the areas close to the camera.

If you want to spin out walk down to the end and when you get there turn around and look at the opening, the bats will freak you out man

Were the mushrooms grown by locals, or by a business? Either way all traces of the mushroom farm are gone.
