Busted Bus



A long way from any road.
About 15 miles down a dirt road was this abandoned and pilfered bus. Age and weather made this a potential "artsy" shot. What gave it some real character was all the tumble weeds around the bus. The halo in this case added to the effect. This shot was particularly fun in post.

Looks surreal!Great subject and composition and nice job with the treatment! Should be hanging in a gallery! (The only thing that keeps it from perfection is some sensor dust in the sky.)

Seriously Thanks. When I am on the road I clean my sensor nightly. The wind was blowing bad that day in a very dusty area. Enough with those excuses. Truth be known...when I am on the road and posting on my little laptop, I rarely check for sensor dust and particles. Especially at 1:00 a.m. Bad Jim. Then I place them in my portable drive in an unfinished file and check them at home. I have a 30" apple cinema monitor at home. Real easy to see the spots there! Thanks again.
