I took my first Bus Stop and Crosswalk shots on March 1, 2010. I had a new 85mm f/1.4 lens and wanted to see how well it performed at night. That was my only goal. I also had an idea to walk up to a street about a half mile from my office that I...

Tag Archives: Bus Stop Friday As mentioned yesterday, next week I will be posting Crosswalk 100, Bus Stop 100, and will also be marking 365 consecutive days of posting at least one image daily. To celebrate with my fans, visitors, and supporters, I’m going to give away either a print or a book to one person randomly chosen from among those...  This is a scan from film, taken with my used Minolta CLE and a Leica lens, and it highlights some of the limitations of using film. Taken in either late December or early January, I was able to get these great long shadows in the middle of the day, but of course that meant that...  Yo, people — the bus comes THIS way. TEMPORARY NOTICE: The site that hosts my images suffered an outage this morning, I’ll leave this notice up the rest of the days in case it recurs. Tweet  I want to thank everyone who responded to my request for site design feedback on yesterday’s post, both in the comments and on Twitter. I’m not going to do anything immediately with the site, and I might just leave it as it is, but I have already made a change to the view you get...  There’s a guy partially visible here in the background here — you can’t see his face — but he is in two other shots in the bus stop series, all taken on the same late spring evening last June. Tweet  This is from little more than a month ago, from the time this winter when it seemed it would never again be warm, or that we would even be free of snow. Spring isn’t here yet, but it hasn’t snowed since the day of this image and we have had several warmish days, and the...  It’s been a rough winter, but you can start to feel spring coming, even on the cold days. Tweet  This is one of my earliest bus stop shots. It made my cut as publishing worthy, bet before I got around to using it I became tired of having too many images of people looking at their mobile phones at the bus stop. So it has sat in my ready to be published bus stop...  Not blinking is pretty eerie, even if we are not aware that people around us blink all day. You might have heard that when Anthony Hopkins played Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs, he made sure never to blink while speaking on camera. He said he noticed it while viewing tapes of serial killers and...  In my article last week putting forth Five Tips for Night Time Street Photography, I mentioned that you will often have to shoot at speeds as low as 1/40. This shot was taken at 1/15 and the people standing at the bus stop are pretty sharp. For example, look at the crease on the man’s...  Please be sure to check out the article on 5 Tips For Night Time Street Photography that I posted earlier today. Tweet  Shooting street photography at night generates special problems beyond those usually facing street photographers. Most of them have to do with light, and most, but not all of them have to do with the relative lack of light. The following is a list of 5 tips for night time street photography. As such, it does...  Keep watching this space as I’m going to publish a post on tips for night time street photography in the next week. Tweet  You know it has been a cold, snowy winter, when you can look back at a photo of someone waiting at a bus stop at night in October, and think, about how warm and dry she looks. Tweet  I tried but couldn’t figure out a way to remove the light halos right by the head of the man at the bus stop. Tweet  It’s snowing today, so I thought I would pull out a bus stop image from some warmer days last May. On a different note, my blog post about the epic failure of the New York sanitation department to provide basic services in Middle Village, and the related failure of council member Elizabeth Crowley to do anything about it, was...  |
