 I rode the bus to school and thought this would be a good idea. I did just get this camera for my anniversary and I am not familiar with the settings yet, but I think I did good for this being my first challenge with it. I wanted the illusion of all the seats empty so I shot from the middle of the front, beside the driver seat. I changed the settings to nuetral, set the ISO to 100, for the WB SHIFT/BKT I put on 0, then I did mess with the metering mode and put it on the center-weighted average. Oh and I used tungsten light, I forgot to change this setting. Which looks like a blueish tint, which I liked best after all the setting changes I tried. It looks to me like a bit of an old faded scene play back from my childhood memory. I hope I did good and now I wait to see what you think....

It's a fine photograoh, but the picture looks to plane and ordinary

seems like your white balance is a little off here

I'm curious why the blue tint was chosen. Interesting shot but I don't think it works for me.

why so blue?

good thought.

Why so blue? Looks kind of eerie and prison-like. Nice idea but it doesn't inspire me.

Very blue, I wonder if a B&W conversion would be more successful. Given it is perfectly centered, it is a shame it is slightly rotated - could have been easily rectified at the cropping stage during postprocessing
