Bus Stop 4 - Back of the Bus in Color

Posted by Twelvebit (Victoria, United States) on 18 October 2007 in Transportation and Portfolio.

I didn't know what I was going to post today until I read JoeB's comments from yesterday. I had originally considered posting these shots in both B&W and color, but was leaning against duplicating the previous shots with color versions. Today's shot is a color duplicate. Tomorrow's shot will be a color shot similar to the first shot --Bus Stop 1-- but from a little different perspective.

Today's color shot is different from the B&W version not only in the obvious way --by being in color-- but also in what elements of the image have emphasis. Of course, I could have fixed the B&W shot to mimic the same elements of emphasis as in the color shot by bringing out parts of the image that become more obscure in B&W --such as the tree seen through the open door in this shot-- but ultimately I decided that while the color version may be a worthwhile guide to B&W conversion, the B&W version shouldn't merely be the closest possible grayscale rendition of the color image.
