Bus Scene, Nikon F3HP, 24mm f2.8, Tri-X Posted by Hello

We took the bus that day between the Vietnamese fair and the Chinatown fair, and since I had my camera on a bus, I decided to try for a typical mass transit grab shot :).

Is there any value in this picture as a snapshot of public transit, or a waste of bandwidth?

There doesn't seem to be any standout elements in the shot... or is there?

I'm wondering...

Good for you Warren - keep asking questions and eventually you'll get some conversation!

I think this one is close... but not quite. As a street photograph, it has good composition - the line of the longish light at top and the repeating patterns made of the riders in the front and the two riders in the foreground.

I think if the pole weren't in the way of the near rider, and we could see the expression on the face, it would be really good.

Transit shots are hard - my hero in NYC, Dave Beckerman http://www.davebeckerman.com does it really well and it's worthwhile to check his photoblog frequently.
