What makes the best setting for photographing buses and coaches? Finding appealing backgrounds or situations can make images more interesting and provide the opportunity in future years to take comparison ‘then and now’ shots. Be prepared to be transported to the likes of the wilds of Imber, the remoteness of the Isle of Lewis, the spacious grounds of the Stormont Estate, the home of the Edinburgh International Festival and the hilly narrow roads of Lisbon. Find out where the Superloop services go in London and follow a wide variety of buses and coaches as they go about their daily service and tour duties in cities, towns and the countryside.

Richard Walter presents a diverse selection of buses, coaches and operators in a range of scenic locations both here in the UK and overseas, some familiar and some that might just be worth exploring yourself. Each image is accompanied by a short description of why the setting might make for more interesting viewing.
