Emergency Exit

[poker]

You're in a bus with an old Canon FT QL with TMAX 400 in it. What do you do? What do you do?

Comments are always appreciated.

You take a picture of the emergency exit. DUH! What a question. Whew. Love it.

That is a nice pic. I think it makes a great poster.

Thanks Loudpicture. Thanks Monster.

Bus drivers always stare at me when I put a camera up to my face in a bus. Ther are either admiring the gear or want me the get the hell out

Hey, a possible new genre. Not street photography, but "bus photography" or "Transit Snaps" or ...

Pretty well composed image that conveys the falling down the aisle sense one can get riding a bus or a train. There's the slightly somber feel from the b/w and shape of the photo that is necessary to this form of photography as well. The silhouetting of the riders minimizes the contribution but acknowleges their presence.

Would like to see less overexposure in the front window either through burning or selective contrasting.

Perhaps moving the exit to a slight different place in the frame or making it more of the photo for a 'different' picture.

This one works quite well and might even work with the front bus window just cropped out.

Glad you shared it.

nice shot, besides the exit, i think it really captures the feel of the bus, it reminds me of when i had to ride the bus to highschool, and i just sat in the back and watched everyone around me with there heads down
