The stupid thing about using a film SLR is the loud shutter/film-winding noise. It was dead quiet, so she heard me. But she turned around after I had taken it, so straight after I took it I just pretended it was broken and I was fixing it.

It was after a Camera Group meeting so I was in that sort of mindset. =)

Also... I'm pretty sure the BUZ services (route 333 in this case) are the only good thing about our city's Translink system. This was taken at roughly 10pm at Normanby - they run every 15 mins until 11pm. =)

Camera: Canon EOS 3000N
Film: Ilford HP5 (400iso Monochrome)
Lens: Canon EF 28-80mm (3.5-5.6) II
Shutter: 1/30th
Aperture: f3.5
Focal Length: 28mm

The shutter and focal length combo put me very close to stuffing up. The shutter computer wanted to do 1/20th (based on f3.5 in aperture priority) but I was afraid of blurring it due to the "shutter = 1/focal length" rule. So I was left with a very slim 2mm to spare =)

Converted to digital by scanning the negative.

Edited in Adobe Photoshop 7.0
(Contrast -5, Brightness +10, Border)

Title really suits the photo. Too bad the busway isn't always this quiet. Simple yet very beautiful. :)

Haha I know about the noise. It's like "baaa-bamm", and when there's a silent place it seems to be even louder than usually. ;-)
