Thanks to everyone for the nice CC's on this shot, it is an amazing building and I was fortunate to have captured this warm late day light before the sun set.

"Tunnel Vision" with a twist...instead of the usual dark tunnel, you found a yellow masterpiece that leaps out and grabs my attention...very hypnotic...great work!

How did you make everything yellow? This building is white. The manipulation works. I have a similar image but with out the yellow cast.

What does one say about such an amazing photo? I will just admit "photo envy to the maximum" and try the rest of my life to make a photo similar to this one.

Location
I shot this at the Florida Polytechnic University in Lakeland Florida. Its just an amazing building with so many curves and shapes you could get lost in the lens.Time
I shot this late in the day as the sun was settingLighting
The late sun provided a nice yellow tint on the white structure and offset the beautiful blue sky as the background. The colors just fit together like a glove.Equipment
I use Sony equipment and shot this with my A77 Mark II with a 2.8/16-50 SSM wide angle lens.Inspiration
Driving by this building the first time and seeing it from the highway I was immediately in love with it. The next trip back I brought my equipment and stopped and asked security if I could take some shots. 3 hours later this was one of the results.Editing
I did very little post processing on this shot, cropping mostly and a slight contrast adjustment.In my camera bag
I use Sony equipment - A77 Mark II and an A58 set up for macro shots a lot of the time. Multiple lenses, flashes, and some filters are at hand for shoots.Feedback
As hard as it is for some people, try and be patient with lighting especially natural lighting. I must have shot this same angle no less than 50 times over a 3 hour time frame and it looked more amazing each time the sun set lower. I loved the angle of the shot as the building curved around and disappeared and just had to hold on for the perfect light. Try to find something that catches your eye and imagine the shot before taking it. Try different angles and lighting, standing on objects to get a different angle or move to get better lighting or wait for it to come to you.
