Waiting (NJ Transit 2 of 4)

Posted by Evelyn (Berkeley, United States) on 31 January 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.

There were three women who were waiting on these flip chairs that were about as wide as swing seats. Not very comfortable, but I guess it took the load off their feet.
They were facing a glass wall, through which coming buses were visible. Alas, the 7:45 took its time in coming.

Hey, Evelyn, this is a neat picture. I wonder how it might look as a b&w. BTW, good idea.

@Daniel: Mm, I thought about that. But I think the shadows are too faint to make it look good as b & w...I'd have to turn the exposure way up, and I thought I would go with a bit of color instead of dealing with all the grain.

But you may be right--perhaps it would work out ok with high contrast

Nice perpectives! I have shot some like this but not as good as yours though.The ghost-like very interesting with the overall colours ! Great work !

Waiting, waiting... I like the colour version, it's got that dark, brooding sort of feel, like film noire.

Wonderfully executed shot, it's very subtle and I love that. Excellent work again.
