#29 Too Crazy?

travelways

Ha, ha,... I just went on a bus ride today and looking out the window I found
an interesting reflection of the bus driver.

I also found a song for it :rofl

Here it is:

Flight of The Conchords - Bus Driver's Song- Orpheum - 6/1



What do you think - is it too crazy?.....:rofl

Gitzo

I like it!

I like it too! Although I'd crop the right side to just inside the edge of the window. Maybe a little off of the bottom as well. Pretty cool image.

Thank you guys

Kevin, I see what you mean ... to show just the motion part...
I can try it...

However, what I thought to show was that the shot was actually taken from inside the bus...

Tatiana - come on - is there going to be a different option every day for the entire month!

This is my favorite so far, though I admit that I don't know this song (or at least I don't recognize it by the title) - so I think personally this would be a stronger image if I could connect the image to the song. Who knows, I'm probably the only one here who hasn't heard this song.

Funny, at first I thought I was viewing an image of a bus taken from outside the bus. It wasn't until I scrolled all the way over on the image that I realized this was from inside. From what I gather, an image from inside the bus will connect better to the song than one from outside, correct? If that's the case, then i don't know if you'll have much room to crop because the viewer needs that far right portion of the image for context.

I really like the treatment of the image - adds to the "motion" of this shot. Nicely captured.

So, what will you be shooting tomorrow?!

divamum

LOVE.

Then again, we love the Conchords, but seriously - awesome image!!

Ha, ha,.... I never heard about this song before, but I have to admit that this is not the only one I haven't...

I just tried to find a title for that image...

This is the song here (click the link):

Flight of the Conchords - "Bus Driver's Song"

It may be also:

Funkerman - "Speed Up"

or

"The bus ride" - Suzy Bogguss

or

Suzy Boguss "Somewhere Between" Country Live

or

"Bus Rider" - The Guess Who

or maybe:

Kenny G - "Going Home"

I really don't know how popular they are, but I was hoping that my image could show the title...

If it doesn't, I'll try to get a better shot for the "Country road" concept...

This is a perfect example of "seizing the moment". And you even had your camera with you. The composition is great but I'm not 100% sold on the processing and was wondering if you had other versions of this. How does it look if you pulled back on the intensity just a wee bit? You may want to also consider cropping from the right so that red and yellow thing is not visible.

But between the song titles and the picture I think you have something good going on here.

Thank you a lot Linda, I made the suggested adjustments, but because of a too slow connection (I guess...)
I cannot upload the file... maybe later

I cropped it a little to the right and from the bottom and pulled back a little on the intensity... it looks better

I like that. I can still tell it is shot from inside the bus but without the distracting yellow/red button.
