"Taking a back seat!"

Throughout my secondary school days, I used to take this bus every day during the mid-week. I loved the freedom of getting on and off at any time while the bus was stationary (dangerous, I know -- hey, I was a kid!). The London routemaster bus really is iconic. It has been copied by other cities around the world, and some old relics have a new life in these cities!

Here is another shot of the routemaster bus, number 9 route. Top deck.

HDR tone-mapped in photomatix, 3 exposures from a single jpeg file, finished up in GIMP.

"We take a right turn!"

This picture was taken on the top deck of the number 9 bus (routemaster bus - preserved on a heritage line in Central London) one afternoon last year.

Turning right at Piccadilly Circus, heading towards Trafalgar Square. The viewer at the window is looking towards Leicester Square.

Home-Time

This is one of the pictures that I took a few months back, when there was a few more hours in the day. Piccadilly Circus was just behind me while the Road ahead pointed towards Green Park and the Ritz hotel.

When I took this, the sun wasn't quite beginning to set yet, although it was during the rush hour. I've added more shade and saturation to this picture and sharpened it up a little. Overall, I am happy with the final result.

Please view and purchase this here if you like it.
