If u mean by SBST, they should be:
Ang Mo Kio Interchange, Eunos Interchange, Hougang Central Interchange, (and I think u miss out) Sengkang Interchange.
How's that so?
AMK: 22, 24, 25, 73, 86, 130, 133, 135, 136, 138, 166, 261, 262, 269
Eunos: 60, 63, 93, 94, 154
Hougang Cent: 27, 51, 74, 74e, 89, 89e, 107, 112, 113, 132, 147, 151, 151e, 153, 161, 165, 325
Sengkang: 80, 83, 86, 87, 119, 156, 159, 163, 372For the benefit of doubt, pls note that Eunos is also known as an Interchange, not Terminal.

Hi guys, because the eds has a refresh rate of 80hz, the camera needs to be set at 1/80s for its shutter in order to capture the eds fully. Any slower or faster will result in some parts of the eds being cut off.
However, most consumer digital cameras does not offer an option to change the shutter speed (you'll need an shutter priority mode to fix the shutter speed). That's when u'll need some luck to capture the eds nicely.
ISO refers to how sensitive your camera reacts to light, it may affect the shutter speed, but setting the ISO wont mean that you'll be able to capture the eds nicely.
Just my 2cents

Hi XiaoTaro
Yes... what you've explained is technically correct, but imo, the EDS has a refresh rate of 50-60 hz. Reason is becos in order to take pics of a K230UB, I have to set my shutter between 1/40 to 1/60.
For one to set shutter, one requires a prosumer camera or a Digital SLR camera.

SBS8033D...
You are getting atrocious with your act. You'd better do the proper corrective actions before you're going to taste your own medicine. Things have become so prominent in front of your face, and yet you are not doing anything.
Folks, this is a classic example of a bus enthusiast with very bad moral values. This case shall be taken in as a lesson to be learnt, and it should not be repeated in any ways or another. He has done things to shame himself right to the ground!

It was a wonderful outing indeed... Got to see the younger ones and to find out who and what they are .. Such opportunities for communication is great, and I think we shall have more of such outings to build up the bonds of the community, as well as to create a conducive environment for the young ones to learn more for this hobby.
Cheers! =)

Occurences on SMB 1 H (01 July 2008, 1830 hours)
I was onboard SMB 1 H on its trip travelling towards Choa Chu Kang. I was observing things around, and to my horrid, I have found out something, and it has also been identified by the commuters onboard as well.
A bus fan feedbacked to me that a couple of passengers telling him this:
Pax 1: "Hey, are you part of the group? Are you able to get them to shut up? It's getting onto my nerve!!!Pax 2: "It has been a stressful day for me! I've been slogging for the whole day and I wanted a peaceful ride on it. Hear the noises coming from the back of the bus! It's f***ing irritating! CAN I HAVE SOME PEACE?!"
THIS, has become a rising concern with this handful of bus fan who have been seating at the rear of the bus to become much 'outstanding' in the sense that they have been interrupting the peace, or even sleep for some of these poor working people.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE SITUATION AWARENESS OF BUS FANS?! IS THIS A SIGN THAT FOR SOME THAT IT HAS WEAKENED?!
Upon knowing that, I was furiously ashamed with their wrongdoings. Isn't it a basic courtesy that one MUST NOT have loud conversation on buses?
Yes... it has been an exciting day for some of us to be boarding it, but does it have to be AMPLIFIED and becomes a form of inconvenience to others? And how much impact has this handful of people created and have never feel ashamed with their inconsiderate actions??!!
I hope that this handful of them who have conversed loudly on the bus NOT to do such acts again. Not only that it brings us shame, the bad image portrayed to other commuters would be magnified as well!
As a bus enthusiast, I hope that all of us should carry out the right disposition onboard, as well as to have the right moral values and considerate acts while onboard.
Again, I hope that this incident would never be re-enacted.

On the context, he is... But the way he reasoned things out is wrong at the first place. If he's trying to take his Nikon camera as a reference, everything may go wrong with a Canon, Fujifilm, or even, an Olympus camera!

As For the photoshoot session, it'll happen in the evening. Any suggestions on which locations are best (e.g. YMCA, SMU)?Originally posted by tintinspartan:I invited a few photographer friends of mine to tag along. Not sure if there are any females from my side going.
It seems like this outing has been contradicted. It's a meeting for bus fans, but why are we having outsiders to be involved? Does that adhere to the meeting agenda? Does someone need some forms of clarification due to failing to comprehend the agenda?

Sometimes, you need to adjust the shutter speed and ISO sensitivity for different situations. Use S mode for these settings. If you use auto, results may vary. I realise that some busfans get blurry pics of buses moving because they use auto mode. And please, refrain from flash. You may blind the driver eyes that way.
Sunny (Afternoon)
- Shutter Speed: 1/125 or better but don't go over 1/250
- ISO speed: 64 - 125
At night (static)
- Shutter Speed: 1/15 - 1/30
- ISO Speed: 200 - 400 (ISO800 not recomended)
At night (light-streaking)
- Shutter Speed: 1 - 2 second (keep camera stable, tripod recommended)
- ISO Speed: 64 - 150
For this one, the longer the shutter speed, the less ISO you need.
Please note that whatever you've put up down here VARIES from one camera to another. Hence, whatever you have suggested doesn't mean that it will work for all. IMO, the best for one to discover to take good bus photograph is through experimenting onto each individual camera. Not all cameras do have the 'S' mode that you're referring to.
