Bus and Bicycle Lane

It's been a while since my last street shot. I went to the gym this evening, and on my way back to the car I took a few quick snaps. Here's one from Nottingham City Centre's South Sherwood Street.

Not the best photo I know, but I like photographing the messages you get on roads. I'm not sure why!

Some of you will know I'm a big fan of the Rolling Stones. I've even named a few of my photos after some of their songs. With the Stones I find that I'll have a favourite song from their catalogue, and then a couple of months later it'll be something else.

I mention this because I watched the film 'The Green Hornet' recently, and there's a scene where they use the song 'Live With Me'. Since then I can't get it out of my head, and it's been on a loop in my car and on my MP3 player! So, I thought I'd post it here as it's been a while since I've left you with a song.

Like the green hornet? Swell shot, did you ramp up the luminance noise reduction?
January 24th, 2011  
@eyebrows I added a preset I created in Lightroom that gives it this 'painted' effect. And yes, it includes ramping up the noise reduction!

Nice. I like road markings and signs in general. This came out well.
