The view from the top deck

One of my favourite places to take photos around town is from the top deck of a double decker bus

Sitting in the front seat up top I feel like king of the road looking down on my subjects

And despite the fact that I’m taking photos through glass windows and trying to avoid any bird shit, I often get interesting photos. The perspective of being in the middle of the road but high up makes for a whole new viewpoint.

This is a two story building with a cool looking corrugated metal covering the bottom section, so posing as a one story building with a picture in the window (corner of Vivian and Taranaki Streets, Wellington, New Zealand)

Here is a crappy photo of it from Google maps so you can see what I’m going on about:

First edits got things more surreal looking.

And then a bunch more edits arrived at that trippy look I’m always aiming for.

Buses can be fun
