my glass i rode: The DFW Monorail

[Brian Moore]

I was in the monorail at Dallas-Ft.Worth Airport traveling from Terminal A to Terminal D. It's quite a haul, but gave me an opportunity to observe other travelers and also to get this shot, which I took with my Vivitar PN2011 with flipped lens, and Memories brand 200 ASA film.

Ah ha - covert surveillance!

I like the feeling of travel in the image - a combination of perspective and blur I think - very nice

Does that guy really have a white hat box on his head?

It's Dallas, Chris. It's Texas! What may appear to be a white hat box is actually a white Stetson, and under it rides an ol' cowpoke.

Thanks for the comments, Chris.

A hat box?!! That'll be fightin' talk 'round there!!

Oh, and another nice shot Brian. Have you ever done a B&W conversion on one of these?

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks for your comments, Pete.

No,...but I once shot a roll of B&W through the camera with the flipped lens and to be honest I wasn't that thrilled with the outcome. However, since you asked, here's the same one as above rendered in b&w. What do you think? (I mean,...other than the fact I ought to clean the dust off my scanner. )

ooo i think this is a PN2011 winner ... i think this even out does http://www.realphotographersforum.com/abstract-still-life/2386-my-glass-i-sunny-zombieland.html which was my previous favorite

I think its the perspective and the light smearing toward the vanishing point

 

[Brian Moore]

Much appreciated, Hamish. (Which do you like better, the color or b&w version?)

 

[Hamish Gill]

Colour!

 

[Pete Askew]

Colour for me too!! Just wanted to see the dust clearer really!
