STA / Sydney Buses in 2012 & 13 (from Jeff)

^ Judging by the resolution , yes. I always thought that.
That is part of why I find them interesting. They have the same picture quality as some 1980s shots put up by this poster.
There is a strangely comforting quality to this consistency between the 1982 shots of German buses and trams in another thread, and these much more recent pics in Sydney.

Jeff was running four cameras until recently: a mix of film and digital, and a mix of lenses. He posts his own digital; I scan prints and post. The bus photos can land in up to six groups (yahoo, facebook and php forum), plus the occasional pub view to two groups.

Constructive criticism, BUT then a possible idea, especially if they're digital photos.

'I don't like seeing these, so nobody should'. The simple solution: don't look at them.

I didn't see where they said they didn't like them, but I have to agree with Daniel (aye that is rare!) & swtt. I have been criticised for photos such as in this post here, that to me in my opinion aren't as low quality as some I've seen.

An idea, if the photos are digital
Have you or Jeff, thought about using a photo kiosk, at a store, such as Officeworks, Domayne, Harvey Norman, Big W, K-Mart, etc?

And have either of you tried to improve them by adjusting the photos on a computer?
