  He tilted his camera. To check for tilting just compare the gradient of the road and the gradient of the bus at both ends.

  Nice try, though I bet that your photos can be much better. See the following three examples as a guide on how to take better photos.
  
  SBS 0442J - Service 142 (One of 'my beloved' BRBP Merc )
  SBS 0723Z - Service 325
  SBS 9022D - Service 30
  
  I guess that by seeing the photos, you would have noticed something in common: angle + sunlight. Basically you need to find a suitable location to take your photos. As on the part on sunlight, it is not necessary (though you must still make sure that you and I can see the bus in the photo), but recommended. Also try to take at angles with strong sunlight.

  Thanks. I will improve along the way, as I learn more. Want to see some of my first lousy pictures? Add me into MSN.

  Once I copyright it and everything

  Is that ur msn address? May I add you in?

  oh yeah one exception: If you are on the upper deck of a dd, then it would be fine. I did it with SBS759X while I was on a 196.

  Non aircon DDS work best, but even if you try it on an AC DD, it still won't be bad.

  You can add me in but I have not installed the Windows Live Messager in my computer so I will need some time to install it.

  Not really. In photography, we don't usually recommend shooting through glass. Same goes for taking photos of buses.

  Depends on sunlight direction. You may need to cross the road if it permits.

  If its at an angle its fine. You can see my pic of SBS759X if you want. It somehow looks nicer than my overhead-bridge-d SBS896H and some random tibs bus.

  And I sent you the email, SBS2695H.

  Thanks for letting me know. I think that's why I never see pictures taken in interchanges. By the way, is it illegal to take pictures of buses along Bedok North Avenue 4 where BNDEP is?
