Oroba Tunnel in Salah Salem Road [Cairo] [NOT HDR]

--> Best viewed Large on black.

NOTE: Ranked #176 in interestingness (on 2007-10-11). Thanx to everyone for their support!!

NOTE 2: I know that I seem like an HDR freak (which I AM), but this is NOT HDR btw...!! It's mere playing around with RAW format


While cruising doing some mashaweer, I stopped by to take this long shot (30 seconds exposure).

I hanged my Gorillapod SLR on the metal fence and did my thing. Using this toy turns anything (repeat: anything) as a tripod!! A true life saver.

Seconds later, I was surrounded with some low ranked policemen (3asaker). But I was smart. Before going there and while I was parking the car a few meters away, there was a soll (a higher ranked policeman) that I asked for his permission because of the sensitivity of the location (it's near our presidents home in Heliopolis and I knew they would notice me) and he said "etfadal ya basha" (I am starting to love this sentence)

I merged 2x30 secs exposured RAW images to give more light on the right hand side (the traffic was moving much slower compared to the left side) then took it to my good old Lightroom to treat the colors in an appealing way.

Hope you like it.
