[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hahahahaha.... I don't look THROUGH the lens like many of my fellow photographers, but I do keep the camera on the seat next to me when in my car. I decided to angle the camera, press the shutter. I was waiting at a light as the bus was in a turning lane next to me. A sudden gust of wind from behind( I guess from the bus)and voila! Just something fun! :)

I added my usual contrast, darkened a tad, resized for upload.

I love it Lisa! Is this YOU?? Very CLEVER! I like how this was done! Nice and sharp! The yellow bus makes a great backdrop for your hair..or is it your hair... oh yeah, blonde curls! It's you!
B-)
Linda

this one worked well!! Sharp at the front and the blurred bus makes a great BG and everything's yellow and black (or close enough)..

I may just crop down a little to eliminate the bit of grey sky but otherwise this is a different kind of driving shot and I like it..

Happy Birthday for earlier in the week - I was called to work so had to abandon the computer!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers
David

Haha very cool shot Lisa, lucky too! Must have been meant to be. Great clarity and lighting with this photo, I love the motion blur from the bus in the background. I'm glad you didn't take this while you were driving, LOL.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi, Lisa -
It always pays to keep your weapon handy - sometimes the best shots are completely spontaneous and unplanned. I love the energy and color in this shot. The wind-whipped hair and the cap are shown in excellent sharp detail, and the blurred yellow bus really conveys the energy of movement. Creative and well done!

  • Great

Wonder what the people in the bus thought.. .ha ha..yeap they were probably all looking at you...blonde in a convertable by the looks of things.

Fun shot Lisa... this photo speaks to you.. tells a little story.. well done...great colours...nice hat!!

Cheers
Dawn

hello Lisa ,

The school bus is making a cool and colorful backdrop. Nicely thought, and the gust of wind does indeed add some speed effect. I might have opted to shoot down a bit more:
1) to avoid the sky
2) to have your full face (^_^)
Happy belated Birthday ( we were in Mexico )
Cheers!
Robert
