  I think the rarest to me is Scania N113CRB cameo on Service 010.

  i think Service 2 and 36 (not crossover) also quite rare.

  Let me clarify certain thing in red. The advices given are the best to my knowledge. If you would like to beg to differ certain points, I'd welcome you towards them: -

  I hope we can also discuss about some photography skills and share the skills with everyone here instead of just posting photos. I am not sure if anyone has came out with guidelines but I will just share mine. Here are just some general guidelines to help those who wish to take decent pictures and it allows us to learn skills from one another. Correct me if I'm wrong in certain points.

  For day shots:

  ·                  When possible, try to use a camera that allows customization of ISO, shutter speed and aperture.
  << Not all are able to choose cameras in that way, esp when they don't really know features and mode of cameras. Each lineup of cameras for different brands varies.>>

  ·                 Try to take photos in places with enough sunlight unless it's some cameos. A learning point for myself too.

  ·                 ISO should be set to around 80 or 100. For those who don't know, ISO determines the sensitivity to light of the camera.
  <<Not all the times such ISO will work. Cameras may be attached different types of lens, and they don't perform the same when you have different brands.>>

  ·                 Generally it's easier to take nearside shots at traffic junctions based on my personal experience.
  <<This is not the case every time. It depends on what roads you are on, and the traffic conditions on the road.>>

  ·                 For shots of buses with Coolair EDS, shutter speed must be strictly between 1/50 sec or 1/60 sec or maybe longer.
  <<Again, depends on camera. In my opinion, the best shutter speed to be used is 1/40, F/25 in sunny condition. However, such high amount of aperture (rep by F) is not able to be achieved by normal digital camera.>>

  ·                 For those who don't know the speed of the shutter determined how fast the shutter opens and closes. 1/60 sec shutter speed means that the shutter stays opens for 1 out of 60 seconds. Hope that someone can relate the Coolair's refresh rate to the shutter speed required.

  ·                 I heard from sources that LAWO EDS by SMRT requires 1/80 shutter speed but I have not tried it out myself. Can someone clarify this?
  <<Same theory applies to the K230UB EDS.>>

  ·                 For Non-EDS buses, you can use about 1/500 shutter speed under adequate sunlight for moving nearside shots.
  <<It must be accompanied by the right amount of aperture.>>
  
  

  ·                 The aperture determines how wide the lens of the camera opens. The higher the value, the less wider it opens. Use a higher value when sunlight is very strong and a lower value when sunlight is not so strong. Generally most cameras should be able to set either 2.8 and 7.0 or 8.0. The value automatically increases when you zoom in, based on my experience. Can anyone explain for this?

  Night shots:

  ·                 Night shots can only be conducted when the bus is stationary at the bus stop.
  << More like MUST BE CONDUCTED. That's because if the object is taken while moving, it will cause blurry effect.>>

  ·                 A Tripod is strictly needed as shutter opening time is long, so no shakes when the shutter it open.

  ·                 Shutter speed must be at least 1 sec or more. Although it is said that increasing the ISO can increase the sensitivity of the camera to light, do NOT increase it for night shots as it may get grainy. Let it stay at 80 or 100.
  <<True. But the most optimum one would be ISO 100. However, some cameras these days are so advanced that no matter how high the ISO go, the picture won't turn as grainy as what you thought.>>

  ·                 Find spots where there is less traffic as the shots can be destroyed if any vehicle passes by when the shutter is open
  <<Depends on whether the individual is familiar with the traffic condition along the road against different timeframe.>>

  I have seen Scania N113CRB buses on route 2 before, but I assumed them to be regular weekend cameos (I have only seen them on weekends, you see).

  I remebered a long long time ago before DDs came into 17, it was full fleet Scania N113s(correct me if I'm wrong), OACs with those fluffy blue things in the middle of the seat.
  
  Scania N113s ---> Scania N113s + Vo3x ---------> Vo3x + KUB -------->  Vo3x + KUB + MAN and of course Mk 3s.
  
  Not bad changes over the years.

  Try to get a proper angle of the bus. If not what we would mostly be looking at: The side of the bus.
