Try a Ride on EMX

Lane Transit District's bus rapid transit line, EMX, runs from downtown Eugene to Springfield downtown, then it follows a loop to Riverbend Hospital and Gateway Center. The section shown here follows Pioneer Parkway. In the daytime, the EMX roadbed looks level. Here, in early morning fog, it takes on a wavy appearance, due in part to the effects of shooting at 300mm focal length.
Don't let appearances fool you, it is a very comfortable ride.

Looks a little like the beginning of a roller coaster!
Judith Barnett14-Jan-2014 20:32
Wow, that is some kind of illusion! Best part is the foggy look and the sparkly lights!

A fine POV, I'd like to ride on this bus sometime. Nice colors in the low light. V

I know the eyes can play tricks on us and now you tell me the camera can too. What are we to do? Great shot.

A nice shot of the area. They sure did a nice job of keeping the bus lanes as unobtrusive as possible.

Very nice perspective and lighting in this image.

Vern, it sure doesn't look too comfortable. LOL. But the photo is super. The lights and the road bed lead the eye deeply into the image and the colors are spot on. The fog makes for a really nice touch. Vote.

I like the many lines leading the eye off into the distance. Great mood with that light as well.

I like how you lined up the lamp posts; excellent
employment of the 300mm. Appreciate your helpful explanation too.

I'll have to take your word on the "perfectly level" part. ;-)
Steve Thuman09-Jan-2014 04:22
Interesting effect!
Robin Reid09-Jan-2014 04:15
This is very well done. The repeating pattern of the lights anchor the image, and your wavy EMX roadbed is an fine contrast. Well done!
