Taking photos through the window of a bus is a rare enough event for me to mention it whenever it happens, and it’s a rare event for the three reasons that the bus is moving, the possibility of reflections is high, and the general griminess of bus windows can’t be overstated.
This photo was taken at the end of a day’s excursion in Buenos Aires back in 2016, on the way back from La Boca heading towards Puerto Madero. That suggests this scene was photographed in one of those two barrios but I don’t recall the route well enough to be absolutely certain. I like the general run-down look of buildings covered in graffiti, especially when the underlying architecture hints at former days of glory.
The main bit of reworking on this picture was to play around with the perspective as the view was more slanted, straightening the wall and bringing some of the rightmost portions of the photo forward a bit to level out the pavement a little. In addition, some texture and clarity was increased to bring a little more contrast into the darker, grimier sections, and, finally, a light urban acid treatment was overlaid to cool the colours down a bit.
