Next Stop Noel Street

I went on a seminar yesterday morning (Thursday). I travelled on the tram from school to another scool four stops up the line.

I really like trams / trains / buses / planes etc., but I rarely travel on the tram as the line doesn't go near to our house.

The tram trip was an opportunity to get a 'streetie type' shot....or a 'trammie' shot.

This is on the journey back to work, as a lady waits for the tram to stop an Noel Street

Faffed around with lots of sliders and filters in GIMP to try and create an urban mono. It was difficult to do as the autumn sun was streaming into the tram producing areas of really high contrast

Shot on my little compact panny TZ7

Very nice faffing! ..... I like the tones - they work well with the shot :)

Nice tones in the b&w. There are empty seats but I guess this lady is standing ready to get off. It was a good opportunity with an unobtrusive little Lumix!

Pleasing shot. Like the low POV

You got a great candid shot, Phil. Here everyone takes his/her own transport and at rush hour traffic is jammed everywhere.

I can just see you sitting there with camera on knee snapping away.......great subject too.....lots of light & shade & strong contrasts. I too love a good tram/bus/train ride..a complete change from car.

@newbank thanks newbank we did a similar trip yesterday (we've been wanting to do it for a while now), although we missed the leg to Hucknall / Pheonix Park as we have done that line before. £5-00 for a day ticket (that's £2-50 each) was a bargain...mind you we spent £40 on lunch :)
