Difficult to know why it is doing what you're suggesting, without seeing exactly what you're doing; but I remember telling you previously, that when you use the live preview mode (i.e. having the viewfinder open and active when shooting), you'll end up getting shutter lag. Live preview obviously requires the shutter to be open to show you the preview, but because it is, it then has to close, then reset the sensor back to 0, before reopening with your settings for your shot(s). Hence the lag.
Now with the view-finder closed, and if you don't really understand the manual settings, you're best sticking to either sports mode or shutter priority (S) mode. The latter is a semi-automatic mode, so you'll be responsible for setting both the ISO and shutter speed. A good chart for your ISO is below -
On top of this, you'll need to set your shutter speed. This is easy enough to have a play around with, but in perfect conditions, you'll probably get away with using at an absolute maximum for moving buses.
Obviously all this depends on you using the eyelet rather than the view-finder.
Not bad. Was the bus moving or static? If static, you could have probably dropped your shutter speed a bit more and still took the shot handheld, which gives you a bit more light into your shot.
I've never taken any night shots for a while now (I really should start!), but I always found well lit places to work really well. You still got the feeling of the night shot, but the extra light helps.
Only saw this now, sorry for the late reply! The Streetlite was moving at the time of the photo, yes. I’m still yet to go out and attempt more low light shots, thanks for the tip about getting more light in, I’ll try to when I eventually get round to it!
