Welcome to Phil T's Bus & Coach Photo Gallery. This site includes over 1750 photographs of operational and preserved buses.
It is very much 'work in progress' with many more photographs still to be added, so remember to visit again soon!
Meanwhile, rail photos can be seen in the Phil T's Rail Photo Files gallery and Tramway pictures (the latter also due to be enlarged) are in separate galleries dedicated to those modes. See links (left). |

Early film cameras included a Kodak Brownie Six-20 Model E (that's the one with all the bells and whistles), a Kodak Duaflex II, an Instamatic 56X (yes, I know, but I was a student at the time...), a Brownie 44B, a neat little Agfa Optima 335, a Pentina E, an Agfa Sillette and, from 1982 until they were packed away last autumn, two Canon AE-1Ps which proved to be remarkably reliable workhorses and which still are capable of many years service. Many miles were covered recording tramways and railways in Europe with these two; normally one was used for transparencies, the other for black and white film.
The digital age dawned when a little Fuji FinePix A403 was obtained 'free' with a PC and which is kept as a backup pocket camera. Enthused by the possibilities of digital photography, this was followed in recent years by a Canon EOS 350D.
Examples of the cameras previously used are retained - as well as one or two other vintage models which have been collected - so perhaps one day there may be time to indulge in some 'heritage' photography! |
