Just to complete the set of double-decks bought new, here is a shot of the first of the two Scania N280 Enviro 400s. CX12 EMS is winding its way up the Pass of Llanberis towards Pen-y-Pass on the S1 shuttle. I think they were struggling to justify the use of a double-decker on the service that day !
That's it for this bit of Express nostalgia (the "digitial years") for now - at some point in the future, I will get round to scanning some old slides of proper buses, turquoise ones at least. I know some people will say that "proper" Express buses were red and cream, but I am a bit too young for those. I do have some old scans of vehicles from those early years which may see the light of day at some point, so keep watching ....
Thanks for all of your comments, faves, and invites. I appreciate them!
I DO NOT LIKE THE NEW FLICKR!

VC EMS Medic 211 (Supervisor)
Originally, this unit was called EVAC 211 but a few weeks ago the transition to use VC EMS instead of the EVAC branding took place and now all units are finally being transitioned away from using EVAC, this unit is now called a Medic.
Also, this is a brand new vehicle, 211 previously had a Chevy Tahoe

Location: Between Oberlangen and Haren - Emsland - Germany.
This must be one of my favorite places along the Ems in Emsland, Germany as I shot hundreds of pictures around this area somewhere in the past. However, I guess I never tried longer exposures than say 1 second before 10pm, but his time I waited till the sun dropped down below the horizon and the moon already has taken its place.
I was standing on a small bridge where this massive stream starts to rumble its way down to a 3 meter narrow side-river which continuously flows at a fair speed right behind my back. From this image you're looking straight at this spot where I took this photograph. While this image shows where this narrow side-river is heading - taken at daylight with a compact.
I securely mounted the camera on my tripod and prepared it for long exposures. In this case I took 3 shots in a row, starting from 10s at f/22 to 20s at f/22 and 30 at f/22.
I carefully blended the three resulting NEF Raw files into a single HDR, ready to be tonemapped and extracted to 16-but .tiff files.. Indeed I needed at least two tonemapped extractions - and manually blend them together in Photoshop - to get closer to the result I visualized.
This is where the real post fun begins: blending layers together with corresponding layer masks to paint away unwanted portions and keep the ones that are useful. After enhancing local color tone contrasts I started with a high-pass filter sharpening in Vivid layer mode. To get rid of regular sensor-noise and the extra noise that was caused by the tonemapping process> I then painted out a view tiny unwanted color patterns from the sky and the surface of the river with the Blur tool.
A couple of selective color adjustment layers were used to bring back some extra detail in the weeds, woods, rocks and trees. I then duplicated this layer and set it to Soft Light layer mode with a 65% opacity. Finally I used the Stamp tool in Darken mode to clone blue portions from the sky above the trees to get rid of slight Halo effects which were also caused by tonemapping. A final Unsharp Mask and Sharpen Edge sharpening method was used to give the whole thing a bit more punch on low resolution copies for the web or screen.
