how to photo the new scania K230 buses with the EDS wordings appearing properly on photos? i tried adjusting to iso-80, use Landscape mode, but was unsuccessful. or does it depend on the model of camera?

Uusually try use 1/80 for shutter speed and ISO around 100 , and best if the bus is stationary.

nenepokey SG

try iso auto. and also keep ur hands very stable. showing one of my photos:

EDS might be a little over-exposed though...quite grainy also...aniwae, this is 3.2 megapixels. expect a better photo wif a better quality camera.

another one - SBS8033D: too bad...forgot to turn off flash.

how izzit?

It depends on the model of camera. If you have a point and shoot, you have less flexibility in changing your shutter settings. If you have a prosumer or DSLR, you can change your shutter settings. Set your shutter to something below 1/80. And you don't need to stay fixed at 1/80 - you need to occassionally change your settings depending on the condition.

I think that you have a point and shoot camera. In this case, wait till it's a bit dark (sometime around evening in this case).

Just one question. you know the thing that looks like a gear lever on the window side of the driver seat, I see that the driver will flip it when the bus comes to a stop, be it at a traffic light or a bus stop and the bus will 'fart'. I curious as to what is that and what is it for?

nenepokey SG

Parking brake. You should know now what it's for. with the parking brake, you do not have to step on the foot brake and the bus will just stay there, stationary.

Oh I see. Then whats the hissing sound for?

Oh I see. Then whats the hissing sound for?

It's the air being released when the brake is being applied. It operates on air. Atmospheric pressure in air tanks means brakes are applied. High pressure means brakes are released. So it's fail-safe in the sense that if there's a leak in the tank, the bus won't be able to move.

8033D is using a Carrier Sutrak aircon. Its not the aircon's fault, the aircon duct design plays a cruial role in air circulation.

Has Svc 174 become WAB service? Why that are those irritating pple keep editing it at sgwiki?

Hmm. Some air brakes uses spring actuation. When you let off the air inside the system, theres nothing to hold the spring back, hence the spring forms as a brake as the springs pushes the brake pads against the drum brake/disc brakes. Whether you release air for parking brake or if theres a leak in the system, the springs will always act as a secondary safety device.
