My first post in this forum (good luck!).
Make a guess before reading the letters below the picture. What bus is this? What body does it have? Have fun guessing before reading the rest.
ISO800 1/15 f8 at 24mm, centre weighted average with aperture piority.
An upgrade for our CDGE bodies? This is a Wright Bodied B9TL afterall!
Shot on Service 104 Kennedy Town (Hong Kong Island) to Pak Tin Estate (Kowloon).
Buses in HK have looser speed limitations and I must say, those B9TLs in HK have better performance than those here in home grounds. 4 speed ZF gearbox with maximum of 75-80km/h to run.
Bus in picture is Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB), rego MG4804, more or less a perm bus according to the station master's list in Pak Tin Terminus. This particular service runs for about an hour, with about twenty perm buses on the route. Besides the speed, interesting facts would include the absence of a timesheet, and lots and lots of perm buses. Give them service 190 here and they would ensure 50-60 perm buses on the route.
Think about super efficiency... -

ISO64 1/50 f3.6 at 8mm (digital).
A nice happening to spot today, sadly only served service 77 for one trip, and then happily went back to service 106 for the remaining trip, then 'swing' back to Kranji Depot. -

Two Versions of SBS 0073R, Version #1 and Version #2
TIB 0811J on Service 969 after the redeployment.
And finally, it's back by popular demand. SBS 9135L on Service 28 (Advertisment - Kinship). You can also refer to here for evidence: http://forum.mediacorp.com.sg/board/showthread.php?s=5e4b209c62f3cac709c5982eb8b79012&threadid=44606 -
Hi TWS.
It may be your policy (policy as in habit or practices) not to crop the photos. Good, but it expands the distraction factor. Distraction is what we do not want to see in pictures.
Distraction is evident in the 811J photo, too many details in the background like the taxi on the left and generally the bus is being 'compared' to its surroundings, in other words, negative distractions. A positive distraction is where by the object needs to be compared to the surroundings to show how small it is. Big does not need exaggeration.
Eyes tend to wander off to sharp colors, avoid the traffic lights in this case, like the 1814M picture, the light is immediately above the bus, makes it look much like a distraction and eye-catcher at the same time.
Exposure wise is ok, just do not go for too high an exposure, even if bright is the trend, it is good to go against the trend in some cases.
Enjoy shooting more. -

Once again, its time to guess what bus it is and what EDS it has. Have fun guessing. You can also feel free to guess where in HK is this shot...
ISO400 1/200 f5.6 at 60mm. Shutter Piority Centre Weighted Average.
Dennis Dragon 12m, Citybus (Hong Kong) Express 788. The EDS is very similar to something we have here right? TIB484U and 595H share the traits with those at HK with a LAWO EDS which runs at lower frequencies. This picture shows it well.
Have fun and shoot more! (Don't forget to play with the same effect on the two SMRT buses that we have here!) -

Opps, time for a twist ( dun punch me please
)
ISO100 1/125 f20 at 60mm macro, centre weighted average -0.3 step compensation.
Opps, not twisted, but how? I really like this Enviro 500 bodied B9TL, sadly and of course, it only comes in a model, not the real thing...
Compared to the CDGE body, this looks really normal (maybe the lack of curve lines make it 'less artistic'?), but this or the CDGE compared to the Wright body, haha... Judgement is quite clear...
