Whilst en-route between Castle Bolton and Aysgarth Falls, I passed this bus.
The passengers boarded and asked for a four-penny one (4d) and have now claimed their OAP passes before journey's end.
This was a quick grab shot with K10D/16-45 as a jpeg and then converted (for the sake of it) to sepia, in Picasa.
Did I see this in David's bus rally collection?
p.s. No, that was 'LHN 860', interesting that they are so similar though.

I think the sepia and film grain are a little over the top but I might have got away with it.
Once I had posted the Duchess, I clicked on it myself to see it full size (well 1000x667 anyway) and did not like how it appeared.
Usually I take the 3872x2592 and often crop down to 3000x2000, where there is any unwanted space around the subject. Then I reduce it to 50% and post it. I usually do RAW conversions in SILKYPIX, which gives satisfactory results.
The Duchess pic, I processed in PhotoShop4 where I additionally used Unsharp Mask. I also reduced it from 3000 to 1000 pixels wide. When I selected the image on screen, there seemed to be jaggies along the lining on the running board and some of the detail was poor.
I have had a go at re-processing (my old way) and will re-post.

The busses of those days had character or that's what I feel and think today. It's good to see that there are people who think the same and find them worth saving and remembering. I agree with David about the treatment. Well done, thanks for sharing Peter!

Thank you for looking in and leaving your comments, Nezih and Andrew.
Perhaps there are many of us who are fond of old buses, in the form of the AEC RouteMaster, seen for so long on the streets of London and part of the national identity.
When I saw the bus approaching, Andrew, it was one of those times when my hands did not seem to work fast enough. I had to stop my bike, swing my rucksack off my shoulders, pull out the camera removing the lens cap and switching on, then raising it for the shot.
As you see I just managed it except that I did not have time to frame and set exposure as usual. Just camera to eye and fire, though I was happy how it turned out.
Regards
Peter

BTW what happened to the picture you posted of the Black Duchess earlier today? I went to comment on it but it had vanished.
