London Buses and some Good Fortune

I was photographing double-decker red buses in London. The red curved lines are the outside and the off-white green are the upholstery inside the bus.

Have a look at the "street-light-star" left of centre and then go down a bit to the image of the actual bus (helps to magnify a bit). If you look closely it is actually two buses superimposed on one another. I kept the shutter open for 76 seconds during which time two buses arrived at the bus stop and then left. You can even see the different bus numbers on the front as well as people from one bus almost on top of those inside the other.

I had no idea I was going to get that when I set up my tripod earlier in the evening. The 'eye of the camera' creates a lot of magic, even more so if one has a bit of luck to throw into the mix.

P.S. kudos to anyone who can name the numbers of the two buses (it's not hard)!

64 and 38. First number not as clear on my laptop. At first I thought the passengers were objects in the building windows. Very cool!

Good guess William! It's the 38 and the 341. You got most of the digits right :)
