photo by Downtowngal, via submission

I was away for a few days earlier this week and managed unfortunately to miss the latest CicLAvia. But it’s never too late to post a great photo of a great event and this one qualifies. Downtowngal used the ‘glowing edges’ filter in Photoshop Elements to achieve the effect — something very different and cool.

While on the subject of photographing transportation in our area, here’s the latest Art of Transit Challenge: Get a photo of the space shuttle Endeavour and a Metro bus or train in the same image. It’s going to be tough as access to the Endeavour’s route is restricted in many place for safety reasons and the not-so-small issue that many bus lines near the shuttle’s route are on detour for the next couple of days.

But there’s a lot of you out there with cameras, so give it the old college try! If you succeed, email us the photo at sourcemetro@gmail.com or tweet it so that we can feature it on the blog. Thanks shutterbugs!
