Re: Contest 80: Bye bye, beautiful bus
The last sentence in my previous posting should have read:
Maybe I stretched the subject a little too far this time.

Here's another example (no rule against posting more than one picutre, is there?), not quite as cartoony and maybe more dramatic.

Well being as I missed out on last week's challenge due to actually driving buses (one at a time - union regulations ) I'd thought I'd sneak statue-man in here.


"Here hurry up mate, she's a bit quick off the mark on her last run that one is!"

here's a larger version of statue-man

The London Transport Museum was full so the Tate Modern gave it pride of place. A fitting tribute to the Guy bus which looks just like a Routemaster.

Nice work Pauline, and a nice touch of removing some of the colour from the bus to give it that colder feel.

Some great entries as usual, have to say I'm really stuck for ideas this week.

Re: Contest 80: Bye bye, beautiful bus
thanks Chris. I was at a loss at first, but thought I might as well take advantage of the beautiful snow pictures I took this week.

Since Chris loves the snow and since mguyer's Michigan is close to pauline's Ontario, I thought I might copy pauline's idea (please forgive me pauline) and send in a second entry

Ah Mguyer you are forgiven! It looks like you had the same heavy snowfall we had! It didn't last long but I managed to get some beautiful pictures. We have had a very mild winter with hardly any snow, and far too much rain.

Chris, I see your from Rochester, you must have had the same snow as what I had from the day after Boxing Day, that was the best snow in my lifetime, I ended up breaking a window though! And on my house, we have Georgian Sasch Windows so im kinda in trouble!

What do you do with old london buses? jump over them of course!

Didn't really know what to do with this one but had a go anyway.

Re: Contest 80: Bye bye, beautiful bus
hi slim had the same problem with my first posts,heres what i do now in the image size box i make it about 700px wide with constrain proportions ticked that about the size of most posts.
then iuse file>save for web, to bring the file size down.
i guess your using image size to reduce file size.
hope that makes sense.
