EDIT: And for the 'unfollowers', stuff the lot of them. They don't care about what you upload, only their own photos and keeping their 'followers' level high.

(18 Oct 2015, 4:30 pm)Jimmi I think I may go back to the larger uploads (possibly around 10 photos per upload) and try and bring back some more variety as there has been an awful lot of Darlington and Durham recently, to be honest I was bored just uploading yesterday's photos.
If anyone has any constructive feedback, I will be interested in hearing it.

(18 Oct 2015, 5:26 pm)Adrian Out of interest, why do you personally go for the smaller uploads? I tend to do it towards the Winter only, when I know, that there's perhaps going to be weeks and weeks, without an update on my account. I'd prefer just doing it as batches if there's a good load to do.

I'd prefer just doing it as batches if there's a good load to do.Recently it's because I've sometimes been pressed for time. I also decided to trial it to see if it would improve the views etc. It worked in the short term but hasn't really worked in the long term. Also sometimes I only have a few photos to upload each day, didn't take much yesterday that I was totally happy with uploading so that's part of the reason for only uploading five yesterday. I'm probably going to have to do big uploads again in the next week or so with stuff like the GNE changes and new Arriva X66/X67 otherwise it will take forever if I'm only uploading in fives each day.

Does anyone have any suggestions for taking photos at night (in regards to settings and such)?

I took this https://flic.kr/p/Ahfpnh with my mobile phone and it seems to have come out okI probably have to ensure that my camera is in the correct settings/modes to get the best out of night shots and I am a total dummy when it comes to camera settings, I have only a fortnight until the Durham Lumiere Festival where I will have to take the photos in the dark which is not something I have done before with this camera, all I can really do is get some practice in, so I may try and get some shots around Newcastle one evening next week.

(28 Oct 2015, 6:12 pm)Adrian You'll struggle to get moving shots. Best find somewhere with an external light source, or even better, find somewhere that a bus is regularly picking up passengers on a night. When the doors open, on come the interior lights at the front.
Auto should do it on your Nikon, but if not, just use the shutter priority mode. You'll have to knock your shutter speed right down though, probably to around 1/30 or less. Have a look around for tutorials, but it's going to just take patience and practice...

(28 Oct 2015, 6:19 pm)Jimmi Thanks
I think one night next week I will have a practice at the Metrocentre then move on to Newcastle and try around the Market Street area where the buses will be sat picking up passengers so hopefully I will get the hang of it.

(28 Oct 2015, 9:02 pm)Dan Rock paper scissors, these days, man!
Not something I like to see from any bus drivers - don't usually see it from drivers in the big three to be honest. What's pdiddy's thoughts!haha

Spot on Adrian. Everyone fofeits their right to privacy when they choose to enter a public place.
Also the driver has indeed comitted a public order offence as well as in my opioion looking incredibly stupid.
I'm a big lad, can look after myself and have been photographing buses for 27 years so its water off a ducks back for me. I feel sorry for the many young lads who persue this hobby who might be intimidated by behaviour from staff.
I always make a point of reporting such incidents as it is unacceptable, this adds to a v from stagecoach sunderland and hunters and a 'shouter/toys out of the pram' from stagecoach south shields. My collection seems to be increasing these days. When i first started nobody cared. There are relatively few incidents with the big 3 as they rightly consider such behaviour as misconduct.
Wonders of modern technology driver was repirted to GNE before the bus would have got to Low Fell!
Off topic slightly but if any members are approached by the police my advice would be 'be nice' tell them what your doing and show them your photos. You dont necessarily have to do all of this but it gets you back to taking photos fastest as it easily demonstrates that you are doing nothing wrong. Ive had four or five of them too. One officer couldnt believe that anyone would take photos in washington, make of that what you will!!!
