(Not trying to nag at you ar)
Seriously I recommended you to still use a compact
digital camera when you are not so exposed to better cameras. I
started myself with cameras only last year, May with a quite lousy
camera which cannot pan pictures well. Then for some reasons the
LCD broke, without reaching one month lifespan. Now using my second
camera, I know why my old cam cannot pan pictures from a
Sony catalogue, I have to set shutter speed at the highest
1/1000? If my camera can go that high....
That day MSN I was trying to give you ideas from all
these Woodlands-ers taking bus pictures at various spots. The next
time I am trying at Woodlands will be at the checkpoint :D If you
can get the angle well, you can get very nice shots. Ask Rk 2010
when he saw me at BNL. I actually stood quite far from the exit of
the bus interchange at somewhere near the carpark exit just trying
to test angles. You can test different angles if you are not that
familliar with some areas. You should have remembered suggestions I
gave when I MSN-ed you.
New shots:
SBS458P on 66
SBS8266Z on 21

SBS517C on 130

as an observer, i personally feel SMB66X's photos are not that
bad. In photography as a whole, we don't only talk about angles. I
assume you're using a compact camera and have not laid you hands on
a DSLR before. Compact camera, self-explained, is a point and shoot
camera.
Lighting in a DSLR is controlled by 4 factors, ISO, EV, Shutter
Speed and Apeture. You need to adjust these 4 values to strike a
balance. You think it's easy, i assure you not. Even me being a
user of a D90 for quite some time, is still trying out many
things.
Just let him try out his camera. It takes time.
Panning: How are you going to pan when you set 1/1000?
