Can you put the pic back up? Would like to see it.Originally posted by cck_190:Oh my god! I did, didn't I. Why must you notice it?
Now I'm scared of my own neighbourhood!
The SMRTbus west area is quite spooky if you ask me, got Hillview Mansion / Dairy Farm House / CCK Cemetery / Lim Chu Kang at its doorstep... lots of forest area surrounding it. -
SMRTbus West is not scary. It's the rural area that is scary. I took that picture along Choa Chu Kang North 5, a very busy area. Near the stadium. I'm too scared to view it. It's just in front of my house. Anyway, here's the pic:Originally posted by leeJZ:Can you put the pic back up? Would like to see it.

A week ago, I created an album on Tibs last days. I said I will be making more albums from the Northwest. So, here it is:

For those who want to see the first part, here it is:

For your info, the newer album is taken using a new Canon Powershot A300 cam bought recently. The location of the newer album is in Bukit Panjang -
cck_190,
Please try not to use your camera's digital zoom (your camera DOES NOT have optical zoom).
What you should do instead of to snap at the highest resolution and then crop the centre of the photo out. It will be sharper that way. -
Digital zoom is just a bull-shit thing that gives you a false sense of satisfaction when you view the photo on the LCD screen.Originally posted by Yusry:cck_190,

Even if you take at the highest resolution, then crop, the bus may not be very sharp either. The best is still to get a cam with sufficient zoom. -
should take pic of Bt Panjang int from the top of the nearest HDB flat there.... nicer....Originally posted by cck_190:A week ago, I created an album on Tibs last days. I said I will be making more albums from the Northwest. So, here it is:

Okay, with reference to the above, this is what cck_190 should do.Originally posted by SBS9819Y:Digital zoom is just a bull-shit thing that gives you a false sense of satisfaction when you view the photo on the LCD screen.

Take the picture at highest resolution without digital zoom.
Crop out the center of the bus (probably at least 1024x768 or larger)
Resize it to something manageable like 800x600.
Run unsharp mask.
Should be sufficiently sharp for a low-end camera. -
Unsharp mask is not really very good for making the photo look better, IMHO. I avoid using any sharpness utility as far as possible as it may make the photo look rather artificial.Originally posted by Yusry:Okay, with reference to the above, this is what cck_190 should do.

You can use digital zoom, but i think that your camera does not have an in-built quality control that limits the extend of the zoom. For most cameras, a 3X digital zoom would only yield photos that are good at 680x480 resolution. Anything above the size would make the photo look yucky at first glance. -
You may also like to lock focus for your camera before taking the shot. This helps to make the bus much more sharper. Noticed that quite a few of you stationery shots are out of focus.Originally posted by SBS9819Y:Digital zoom is just a bull-shit thing that gives you a false sense of satisfaction when you view the photo on the LCD screen.

Okay guys, I thank you for your advice. I'm not really a professional photographer YET although I'm in a photography club. I promise, the next album will be nice...Just wait and see

Seen in the centre of Singapore - not far from the cricket pitch! - is 4729, one of the New Zealand NZMB bodied Volvo B57s, many of which ended up as school buses in Ireland with CIE.
SBS 9265 U
At a suburban bus station is the AN68 Atlantean with Alexander bodywork, it may well have been one of the vehicles subsequently sold to Hong Kong Citybus. -
