Soon, I'm planning on starting taking photographs of transport (hopefully a nice mixture of railways and buses), and intend to start a Flickr account etc.
Just looking for some advice, I'm fine on the part of the railways, I train-spot at CLS regularly and see many guys taking photos without any hastle, I'm just a bit concerned about the buses.....
I've always been a relatively well-behaved kid, and on the rare occasion that I get told off, I really do get annoyed about it, especially if it's for something as simple and innocent as snapping a few shots of a bus on it's first day in service. I reckon I'll be fine in Chester-Le-Street, but in terms of wanting to add a bit of variety to my photos, in places like Newcastle and Gateshead, I don't really like the idea of a policeman coming along and asking to view all of your photos.
Can anyone give me any advice on the best places in the 'notorious' zones on where to take photographs of buses. Thanks in advance and any advice is appreciated.
Marcus
Just do your own thing. You don't need to go to the notorious zones or hang about bus stations - if you do, your photos will probably be the same as everyone else.
Think about all the unique photo opportunities on your doorstep and five minutes down the road - just with the 71 and 78!
How many photo's do you see of buses at Chester Moor?
What about on the new roundabout at the top of Park Road North?
Plenty opportunity for different, unique shots without following the crowds.
