I try not to have all the photos on the website taken in City Centres, it would be a very boring site if I just stood in one location and put 30 or 40 identical photos on per day. Because I hadn't got any photos of the Enviros in service and knew I would be putting 10 or 11 photos on tonight I wanted a bit of variation on the locations so walked along the route to Blakenhall

I really like this aspect of the site-different locations which are named provide interesting shots, especially for those of us who don't make it to all corners of the west midlands county!!

I also like to try different angles and locations, I don't usually stay in the same spot for more than 5-10 minutes

Ok tony :) Your photos are always great and i agree that you should give a variety of different locations.

First priority is to get a photo of every vehicle on the site, so first photo put on is regularly in a garage or somewhere similar like all the Coventry eclipse photos taken at Hartshornes (Yes I did have permission to be in there). Second priority is to get a photo of each vehicle in service so the second shot on any page is normally in or close to a City Centre just to improve on a normally low quality garage shot. Then I try to get one of each bus out of the centre. The process starts again with each bus each time it is repainted

Do you have an expensive camera to get such good quality pictures or just a small handheld? Just out of interest

I have a pentax Kx SLR. I have had an SLR since 2008, now on my third as I have worn the first two out. At least I have only had to pay for one as the other two have been replaced under extended warranties!
