Plymouth Bretonside: Playing with the light

One of the great things about black and white photography is there is a lot more scope for creativity and I always enjoyed playing with the light using it too make interesting effects. Of course this is not how we usually photograph buses pointing the camera straight into the sun but why not, it is the way we often have to look at them. You might not think so but very little is lost in this Leyland dominated scene because as well as the Western National Willowbrook Leyland Leopard heading for Exeter on the A38 there's another one of webbers at the back plus some Plymouth Atlanteans. Also in this Eighties view is a Western National Bristol VR and a Wallace Arnold Bedford VAS Plaxton. Ah, those were the days, and like some of my memories these old prints are showing signs of age.
