Urban- My perspective



There are many different ways I can describe urban in a photo. "Urban" is a story, a multi faceted view of life. I am hoping to capturing the many different perspectives this week in the photos that I post to fotothing account. I wanted to post a couple of initial shots for you guys to look at and critique early one this week. You all are with me on the journey this week. I hope that my photos at the end of the week would have improved in either technique and story. For the first shot I have taken a bus and shot it at an unusual angle. I love the reflection in the bus taking the world around them and capturing it in a moving object. I wanted to capture the destination of the bus as well, and the architecture around it. My second shot is of the signage downtown. I love the different directions and messages that the signs are illustrating. I call this photo, "Which way is up?"

Genese, the bus shot is really an awesome perspective and the reflection just gives another view of the buildings in the city. I love it!

I am suprised that the bus actaully says it's going to Walmart. Does it also stop at Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks?

Thanks for leading the way... Both are excellent shots... I can see you are looking at your environment from a "visual" point of view... Perfect.

I like the various colors in the bottom shot. The red in the street sign really stands out and makes it interesting. The top picture is a cool angle too. It takes a minute to realize it is a bus! Very nice!!
