photo by Manfred Schmidt, via Flickr Manfred took this photo with the Hipstamatic app on the iPhone while visiting the L.A. area from Dusseldorf, Germany. As with yesterday’s “art of transit,” it’s another example of how Hipstamatic and other iPhone apps can be used to soup up photos to great [continue reading]
photo by Veronica Eliasson, via her Flickr page This moody photo was taken on the Gold Line with the Hipstamatic app for the iPhone that transformed the bright interior light on the train into all sorts of shades of black, white and gray and also softened the focus — to [continue reading]
photo by Kevin Ash, via Flickr My obsession with Golden Gate Bridge photos continues in today’s “art of transit” with this lovely image by Kevin Ash (check out his photography website, which focuses on aviation).

Second, the photographer set them against the blur [continue reading]
photo by Jon Sittner, via Flickr I find many of the photos that we use in “the art of transit” on Flickr, which is both easy to search and has a multitude of groups dedicated to transportation. In those groups, a lot of photographers try to capture images of stairwells [continue reading]
photo by effelarr, via Flickr creative commons A nice use of blur to capture the movement of a Metro local bus on the 6th Street Bridge heading into downtown L.A. Light at mid-day can be very harsh here and I like how the color of the bus really stands out [continue reading]
