Agreed.  I like them too, just for the fact that you'll see buses away from their regular areas.  Obviously, we always don't like the events that causes the need for bus bridges.  That said, one of my favs to watch was that when the car went through the fence in Silver Spring and laned on the tracks.  During that emergency bus bridge, I got to see lots of good action at Silver spring station.  The best part for me was seeing the New Flyer C40LFs there for the first time.  This is the time when Four Mile still had Orion VI's and one of the 38B Nextbus Orion VIs was there along with a 35-footer Metro-B from Arlington.  Then there were "walls of buses" lined up on Wayne Ave, Georgia Ave and Colesville Road.

Ken, the BWs look pretty good.  I would probably take them in color and then Greyscale them in Irfanview or Photoshop in case I don't like the outcome.  Just an idea though.

I was going to do that at first, but I did take a color photo of them and the colors just felt a bit askew. I decided to use the in-camera settings for the best effect.

Some photos from last week and from Monday:



Decided to try something new:

The first picture looks photoshopped with the Gaussian blur.

I edited it with my cam. Made the color of the bus a little brighter too.

We want genuine photos, not obvious photoshops. I have a very keen eye for detail in photos to tell if they're real or modified.

Geez I just tried something new and wanted to see how it looks calm down. And why can't I put those kind of photos on here? It looks good to me. And other people I know agreed too. And again it's not photoshopped.

I personally thought it was a nice looking photo. Just enough/slight fuzziness to enhance the object in the center of the photo (The METRObus).

Keep up the good work.

Can that work with multiple buses or any type of object in the pic?
