The view on the 58 bus : Someone's pinched my seat !!

I've done loads of images shot from the front seat top deck on the 58 bus ......this is a shot from the back seat of the 58 bus, showing somebody sat (or in this case stood) in 'my seat'

You can see what a large window you have to shoot from. I've toned it down a bit in B/W to reduce the highlights from that big front window !

Love this shot!! Hope they had a camera - or were they pretending to drive (that's allowed!)

[Phil Howcroft]

@judithg ha ha judith, yes i think we've mentioned pretending to drive before on my 58 bus shots......they were only young teenagers , giving 'grief' to passing pedestrians....pretending to drive is good though ....just don't let anybody here you making 'engine noises' :)

[ann]

That's one clean bus! Great shot in b/w.

[Anita]

Haha glad you made the most of a bad situation, Phil. I like the jaunty angle.

[Mags]

Very nice POV and angle in this shot! Interesting that there's not more people on the bus! You must be one of the first boarders on its route. Good work, Phil!!!

[Pat Knowles]

They look like hoodlums & pinching your seat too...not good, am glad you kept well away from them !! A different view any way for us to look at ! You took this shot low down !!

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat Pat, everyone is well behaved on our Nottingham buses :) they all have CCTV on them ..I shot blind for this

[Phil Howcroft]

@marlboromaam thanks Maggie, I just put my camera next to the floor and shot blind for the POV....not many people travel on the upper / top deck of the bus...I don't think they like climbing the stairs !

[Kerri]

Great composition

[Phil Howcroft]

@new2this thanks Ann, glad you like the 'clean bus' !

[Phil Howcroft]

@anron Anita..i like the words 'jaunty angle' :)

[Mags]

@phil_howcroft Ha ha! Good for you for climbing the stairs! You're better for it! =)

[andy c]

nice PoV... looks like some agro up front....

[Allison Williams]

Looks like you had the bus almost all to yourself!

[Tena E. Collyer]

LOVE this one! Great composition and perspective :-)

[Constance Brinkley]

Like the POV you have captured. It looks like the person is giving someone a hard time... or are they paying? I am always confused by right hand driving...

[Sue Wilde]

This is cool Phil. Now we know where you shoot from

[peter/zipp]

...gives a new no 58 perspective.. from the back seat rider drinking cider..

[Phil Howcroft]

@sleepdozer57 hi peter, no cider drinking on Nott'm buses ....no food or drink allowed...there's a lot of pride in our buses...:)

[Phil Howcroft]

@swilde thanks Sue, much appreciated

[Phil Howcroft]

@seattle Constance, thanks for your comments, this is the top deck of the bus (double deckers) ...we pay on the bottom deck...these are just kids being kids...standing up , messing around a bit of friendly banter and joking :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@allie912 allison, most of the customers are downstairs on the lower deck...if you peek through the seats I think I can see two other sets of feet !!

[Phil Howcroft]

@teliz3 tena many thnx :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@andycoleborn andy, never any aggro on our buses, there's a lot of civic pride in our buses......Nottingham City Transport are essentially still corporation buses ...albeit under a different name
