Open roof bus seating ideal for panoramic photography

Photographing from a sightseeing bus is not luck. It is anticipation.

Core principles

Shoot slightly before the obvious reveal.
Keep horizon level during turns.
Use burst mode for moving segments.

Light strategy

Time window	Best subject
Morning	Stone textures and facades
Afternoon	River contrast and skyline detail
Golden hour	Warm city silhouettes

Suggested quick settings

Mode: Aperture priority
Shutter preference: fast enough for motion
Stabilization: on
Burst: short bursts

Composition prompts

Foreground seat rail + distant skyline
Street curve leading line + church tower
River edge + layered rooftops

ROT still works on buses: keep key towers near upper intersections for cleaner balance.

Bring a cloth for lens mist. Tiny maintenance improves half your shots.
