Glad you like it Jeff

As for the settings;

Pentax K20 with 18-55mm lens, Sherpa tripod. Cable release, 1 second delay.
f/8
8 second exposure
ISO 100
No flash
Metering Centre weighted
Focal length 38mm

It was taken on a table in my garage with only a couple of strip lights for added lighting on a dull day. The light coming from the 'front' of the garage is from a window.

This is in fact two exposures 'focus stacked' to get the bus and the offices behind in as much focus as possible given the light. Where possible I try and get as near 40mm focal length, as in the digital format this is about the same as the human eye views things.
