The name seems decent for the 19 even though it should be.. Cobalt Connect but we know what GNE is like..
Wonder what the brand will be for the 17, what are peoples ideas for names?

I've mine set up for months now like that, I just haven't had much time or the money to go out and take photos of specific brands, I personally not a big fan of people of who make accusations of copying as they can be quite offensive as you and Daniel have both experienced in recent weeks. The way I see it is simple and easier way to display my photos, just like you do with yours, Yeah mine maybe set out similar to yours Daniel but it was other users layout of sets which lead me setting mine out in such a way.
Unless you developed Pixelmania, Flickr, Fotopic etc then you have no claims to how one should display photos!
Lot's of sites are similar in layout, simplybusphotos ages ago did a layout like that.
When I was younger photography wasn't digital, people organised photos by collection in albums, all your Leyland Atlanteans for one company in one file, nationals in another. Everyone did it, hardly copying.
The whole argument is typical of why I tend to stay away from photos and displaying my old collections (including model collections) because I can't be bothered with the back biting of some enthusiasts
Does it really matter as long as someone, somewhere can enjoy and share your photos? It personally doesn't bother me to know when a bus was bought, what it operates on, what its fleet number is, I just appreciate a good photo.
I totally agree gtomlinson, I'm personally sick of these little keyboard warrior think they no it all but know jack sh** passing judgement on myself for the quality of my photos, telling me I need a new camera when I have recently just bought one a few months back. Then on top of that you have crying bitching and moaning over you copying someone elses layout of photos.
I take photos to share my love for buses with others, not for the sake of the above which hacks me off and they wonder why I give them such a grilling at times.
Overall i'm 20 years old, i'm an adult who keeps himself to himself to avoid the above altercations, but if you insult me or the photos I take I'm just going sit there and nothing i'm tell how it is, if they don't like it tough in my opinion.
This is why now we have people like yourself gtomlinson who are unwilling to share there photos with others because the above which is great shame if i'm honest, because no doubt you some truely fantastic photos past and present which in turn provide some great memories for some enthusiasts like myself.
Exactly.
I enjoy your photos and others. Here's why
I like photos of buses as a vehicle.
I like photos of my local area
That's it. I don't care how many pixels, where it was taken from, whether a bus driver let me into a depot, who else was involved...it's just a photo!
I mean, my phone, a Galaxy S3 has 8 mega pixels, pretty much better than the camera I took on my first foreign holiday! It does a job. It might not win a competition but it does a job and my friends/family can see the photos I've taken pretty clearly!
But your spot on, it is a shame, I won't share my photos because I've been burned at rallys when an enthusiast took exception to my photo of an OK Mini bus covering a breakdown on the 724 with 'there's a glint of sun covering the axle'.....
I mean really?
I wonder, anyone on the forum not from the North east, if so what do you think of the idea to brand buses with different names, does it stand out for visitors?
Only asking because Daniel uploaded a picture of the Man united Coach, i was wondering what they thought when they seen a FAB 56 or a Simplicity.

I'm with Adam Malarkey and gtomlinson on the whole photos thing. I find that spotters can be worse than women when it comes to being bitchy, especially over photos - and that's saying something. As long as you keep on enjoying taking your photos and sharing them with the rest of us, you should continue doing that. Constructive criticism is good and you need to hear that, but criticism is disappointing when it gets to the point of becoming either offensive or bitchy.
On ways of organizing - lets not try to reinvent the wheel eh? Sorting by category is nothing new, and has been around for centuries.
