Light at the end

The Light at the end of the Tunnel is always a tempting photographic subject. It gives the viewer something mysterious to consider. The photographer in turn has to consider the tonal range and how to convince the camera to render all that black space correctly. This usually involves some fairly strong exposure compensation.



The first images comes from the Tombs of the Kings. It sounds like something exotic in Egypt, but in fact its an archaeological site on the edge of Paphos in Cyprus. There are lots of tombs dug directly into the rocky ground here and a splendid disregard of health and safety.




This second image is a passageway in the close near Durham cathedral. As they don't let you take pictures inside, I took this one instead.



Finally the Saxon Crypt under Ripon Cathedral. This tiny space is fantastically old and well worth a visit.
