One of my favourite places to take photos around town is from the top deck of a double decker bus<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sitting in the front seat up top I feel like king of the road looking down on my subjects<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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)<\/strong><\/p>\n
