One of the problems with bus photography is enthusiasts tend to choose the same most obvious spots and take similar views. There is nothing wrong with that and although the image quality might sometimes be slightly suspect I enjoy trying to take good pictures when I'm on the move from an oncoming bus. Not only do I get to take some familiar views which I wouldn't normally see in collections like this fine Victorian cemetery on the West Midlands 529 route it's always a gamble whether they will be any good as the bus hit a bump or the shutter goes too late.
I too like taking photos of buses approaching from the opposite direction. I find that using the zoom helps to reduce/eliminate reflections and glare on the inside of the bus windscreen. Cropping also helps sometimes!
ReplyDeleteThanks Julian, the best thing is it doesn't matter too much if a few turn out as duds when we have a digital camera.
