This is a fabulous shot..you certainly have a way with black&white shots..wish I knew how to make mine so crisp (see mine today as an example I wish could look bright and sharp like yours). Anyway...this shot has everything, ancient, modern, lines and angles...and a Lloyds Bank sign. Great.

Those are beautiful trams and I like the contrast in architecture. Great photo Liners and the color toning is just perfect!

Feel like I'm back in the 50's with this tram and architecture in the behind. Well done for the B&W choice here. A must.

What a beautiful tram! Is this a special wagon for sightseeing / tourists or a regular one? Ours are so ugly!
20 May 2009 9:53am
@MadScientist: It is more of a tourist tram at the moment...but there are plans to extend the tram lines so who knows!!! It could become a lovely way to travel around the city...I hope so!!!
dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa
The B&W works really well, though I must say I think the tram would be quite spectacular in colour.
20 May 2009 10:17am
@dobbino: Thank you Rob:-) You will get a peek of the colour on Friday I think!!:-)

Nicely composed. Did you shoot B/W or remove the colour. If the second it would be nice to see the comparison.
20 May 2009 11:01am
@grouser: Thanks! I shot this in B&W so no comparison I'm afraid:-(
willow from Chelsea, United States
Excellent use of contrast in this B&W. Sorry I haven't been around - you have been hard at work in my absence. Congrats on your visa and I can't wait to see more of your B&W's - the ocean scenes are beautiful!

Great b&w street shot....the composition is wonderful, and it's great for those of us on the other side of the pond to see what life looks like in NZ !!!!!

The beauty of this shot is in the softness of the edges presented in black and white. Excellent quality.

Bookfool from Mississippi, United States
So cool and well done in B & W. We used to have trams in our little city, at the turn of the last century. You can still see the tracks peeking through, in places. The city covers them up with asphalt but they refuse to disappear.

It's lovely seeing that tram, very cool way to travel, and beautiful sharp contrasts. I'll join the silly bunch next week !

Now, that's what I call a tram, we have a modern monstrosity they call the metro here, this has so much more character :)
