OK, a bump / hijack - one of my 'pastimes' is photographing model buses - so here's one of my most recent. The bus is a EFE model, the only modification has been re-numbering and some new adverts. The bus garage is work in progress, a mixture of cardboard and plasticard.

Great capture

May we be so bold to ask what settings and equipment was used?

Glad you like it Jeff

As for the settings;

Pentax K20 with 18-55mm lens, Sherpa tripod. Cable release, 1 second delay.
f/8
8 second exposure
ISO 100
No flash
Metering Centre weighted
Focal length 38mm

It was taken on a table in my garage with only a couple of strip lights for added lighting on a dull day. The light coming from the 'front' of the garage is from a window.

This is in fact two exposures 'focus stacked' to get the bus and the offices behind in as much focus as possible given the light. Where possible I try and get as near 40mm focal length, as in the digital format this is about the same as the human eye views things.

OK, here's another bus pic, this time I moved the set up outside to give more light.
