Caltrain Portraits

These images were taken while looking out of the window of the second level seats on the south-bound Caltrain. The window adjacent to the seats that Rachel and I were sitting in was covered with tiny scratches. It almost looked like the spidering of a newly cracked windshield. The interesting thing was the effect it created looking through the lens at my particular angle with the sun shinning in. It almost created a bokeh effect on the front of the image. I experimented with manual focus and shooting away during the 30 minute train ride from Millbrae to Mountain View. The following results are the ones I liked best. The front end bokeh/ blurry effect along with the surveillance-camera style composition create, in my opinion, an interesting glimpse of Caltrain patrons passing by. Thank you for stopping by and take care.
