yesss that lean is as mean as the flxibles!
Nice photos Wayne. I especially like the ones of 6791 and 6216.
I got some Good Friday photos too of a different sort that I hope to post in the near future in the Beyond the Beltway section. I'm a bit behind on photos unfortunately...

Thanks a bunch. I was on campus around 3ish. I parked near to the west end of campus and walked down Campus drive to route 1, then walked back. I was there for about 1 hr and 15 min.
Glad you all liked the pics. Speaking of 2444 doing that serious lean... It was awesome to watch. The sound of WMATA's C40LFs have been music to my ears from day one and when this guy took off from the light... it was all throttle through that left turn. I was lucky enough to capture several shots of 2444 from standstill to completion of that turn. Here they are:

Quite nice! Your camera seems to have a great "burst mode" to be able to take so many pics so quickly!

I was using a DSLR and I'm guessing all SLRs have quick shutters. I simply fired away several times as I kept the bus in view.
My Fujfilm F70EXR compact takes some quick pics as well. 10x optical zoom 10MP. I'm even surprised by how fast it is compared to my S1500 which has been having problems lately.

Now that you mention it, I also have a Sony DSC-H5, also with a 12X zoom. It can also shoot pretty quickly as long as I'm not using the flash.
Wow, that WAS a good Friday! Great pics, Wayne. When did 6791 get a bike rack, and what route was 4391 on when you shot it? It looks like 2444 is trying to be a Flxible as well...LOL.

Thanks Fred. Not familiar with Shuttle UM's routes, but it appears that 4391 was headed to the College Park Metrorail station.
not much

What time did you take those pics of 4386 & 4387. I saw them on one of the routes and on a different route today.
I would start a May 2010 Photos thread but the following pics were taken on April (most on April 30):
First off, let's take a look at a pic that would have been a nice one if it wasn't for that stupid Audi that got in the way: (it's 9313 on the H1 in case you can't see it)
(http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/gpbusgallery/WMATA/mb9313x.jpg)
and here's 4013 on the 34...it was idling at Federal Triangle, no bike racks so you can see the front pretty nice and clearly, then a bunch of cars got in the way as it left, so I got a back shot which is nowhere near as good as I wanted it but it's something...

and here's the rest:

Yeah 4013 has been without a bike rack since the summer of 2008 actually saw it on the M6 yesterday
