I got back into buses as a hobby about 2 and half months ago. I spot using pen and paper and I take photos.
Personally I could not care what any "higher up" enthusiast thought of me. I may not have as much knowledge of the current bus scene as others but I enjoy it greatly.
You should not feel looked down on by anyone. If you enjoy the hobby keep doing it. I certainly intend to keep on with this hobby now that I've re-discovered it.
