Portraits from the Bus Blind

[Don Schaeffer]

760 mm equiv with telecon. Shot through a dirty bus window. It's gettin to be Spring. The thaw makes the windows very dirty. They may be all but opaque for the next week or so.

You should carry windex and a squeegee with you this time of year.....

I like the gritty image of the man and the woman walking. Lots of yummy details there, plus the "grit" works with the scene. The others seem like you cropped in hard and applied some texture or something.

It's the bus window. I have to compensate for the effect of the dirt by pushing contrast. That's what makes the noise. The dirt is all on the outside of the window. If I owned the bus I could clean it.
