More than magic I see a ghostly bus riding the streets. Well composed image. The posprocessing worked very well to create this interesting image. The dual colours are very good to enhance the mood of the scene. Nice work Bert :-)

Hi Bert,

Magnificent bus shot. I love the B& W and the feeling of the bus in motion. Really well done!

Hi Bert... I wake up in the morning and I discover this photo, and suddenly the first though that comes to my mind is Tom Waits. Maybe the black and white, maybe the word Hotel hanging on the facade of the skycraper, maybe because of the urban mood... Who knows how thoughts works, so I am going to simply enjoy it. Take care.

Hi Bert,
excellent shot, I like it very much. The choice of B&W is very good and the contrast between the still city and the moving bus is very fascinating.
Well done!

Hey Bert, you make me smile ;-) I immediately had to think of Harry Potter. There's a lot of speed and sensation in the photo and your title is well chosen. Very attractive background as well, giving us a bit of Sao Paulo.

Hoe is 'tie? Long time no hear, heb 6 dagen gefietst, in Belgisch en Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, lekker, maar niet overdreven zomerweer ;-)

It is a very well done picture with a good contrasted B&W and a great sense of motion on the bus. I do like it.

Hallo Bert,

Wat een dramatisch beeld, u gebruikt zwart-wit wat natuurlijk hier goed bij past.
Dit is een groot experiment in uw gallerij, met een ander fototoestel, en met de bus waarvan ik denk dat hij op hol is.
Diepte en perspectief zijn ruimschoots aanwezig. Bedankt voor uw bezoek.

Groeten uit Vlaanderen licht bewolkt en 15.7° C

Hej Bert,
Prachtige zwartwit capture van deze drukke straat. Die bus ziet er door de blur erg mooi en spectaculair uit. De straatverlichting en de wolken vind ik ook goed en helpen om de sfeer die hier hangt te verhogen. Mooi werk!
Groeten,
Lars

Hi Bert!
Very nice B&W image showing day-by-day (or night-by-night, hehe) of the great cities! The movement of the bus was excellent!
Congratulations and Hug!

Hoi Bert,
Mooie foto. Door al dat licht heeft de foto zeker iets magisch.

Hij doet me een beetje denken aan een foto van
mezelf. Toch hebben ze duidelijk een heel verschillend karakter.
Het is trouwens net alsof deze bus uit Sao Paulo een grote, gapende mond heeft. Verder zorgt de lucht voor wat extra drama.

Groeten,
Stef

Hello Bert, nice moody evocative night shot here, with just enough light left to make an interesting sky. Wis I could have made that trip.

Hi Bert,

The many light points in the shot are interesting, they together give a extraordinary ambiance to this urban scene. I like too the movement of the bus, the blur is very effective here! Thanks.

Regards,
Angel.

Dag Bert,
mooi korrelig en goede retro sfeer. Zelfs de witte stippen van de stofjes op het negatief ontbreken niet. Heel mooi.
Groeten Gerrit

If it's going to Hogwart's Castle it should be the Night Bus, but I don't think The Who have a song called that. ;)
You don't mention added grain but the noise adds to the atmosphere you have set up in your note. Well done

Hi Bert, I hope that all is well. I like this night impression from Sao Paulo, with a good exposure to render the lights and retain detail in the downtown architecture. The motion effect on the bus is dosed just as you would want it to be. Fine post-work to have this contrasty and grainy b&w look that is very suitable.

Hi Bert,
Very effective in B&W. I especially like the mini scene in the background comprising the sky and more distant buildings, which really gives good depth and perspective to the entire image. The flared lighting contributes to the magic of the night prevailing throughout.
