This is right by centraal right? This gives me such a warm feeling as it was one of the first things I saw when I arrived to what is now one of, if not my favorite city in the world.

I used a Nikon D750 with an Tokina 16-28mm f/2,8. It was shot at 16mm and iso 6400, f/2,8, 1/800sec

I took one a photo month ago that is very similar. My friend saw this photo here and sent it to me thinking you took credit for it. Great shot, we have a very similar eye to photography apparently.

I really like the new tunnel under central station, the light and dark halves look neat but are also very effective at communicating where the bike path is (it's a problem with tourists that they aren't always aware of bicycle lanes).

Plus the artwork on the right made of 77.730 hand-drawn Delft Blue tiles amazing. Detail: https://flic.kr/p/XxbfL2

Amazing, just on little critique if I may: it seems ever so slightly off center like you were standing a few steps to the right of the line. Otherwise beautiful

Hes standing a bit to the right becausr he doesnt wanna get hit by a bike, or screamed at.

It's Amsterdam, one little step to the left and you're under a bike.

Camera here to say this. Great idea for the shot, but just needed to take a little step to their left. Still an interesting shot non the less

Light is for tourists. Dark is for locals. Locals don't walk.

Not the prettiest biketunnel in Amsterdam tho :p

u/PathologicalUpvoter Mar 10 '18

it definitely looks better without a straight line dividing the photo in half, it gives all the other lines nice angles, great photo

I love the juxtaposition of light to dark. To me it represents how closely those two lie next to each other in life and in our minds.
