newflyer97bct -  when did you take that pic of 6017 J4-M151 that was in the evening right thats my best friend block 

i took it on wednesday at around 4 pm

funny thing: right before i got that shot, the sign said "J4 Montgomery Mall", but the operator changed it in time for me to get the standard College Park sign
Hey you take some good pics Why did you think you needed a new camera?

Nice photos Wayne!

Thanks Oren.  I felt pretty good about them as I got them all from the driver's seat of my car, since it was raining.

if you actually take a look at my camera, you'll see why. it's old and falling apart (just ask Ken, he's seen it), if you take a look at my shots of turning buses, they're all a bit blurry, that's because my camera's autofocus can't keep up that well with moving objects.
But...I do the best I can with what I got, and as long as it does the job, I'm fine with it. I'm glad you like my shots though, I know I can do better though.

Not quite while driving.  Sometimes I will grab the camera if I'm at a stop light and an opportunity presents itself.  That's what happended with the LFA on the Q2 and 5590 on the 15.  All of the others, I pulled over and waited for the buses to show up.  I had planned to stop at several hotspots for pics, but it kept raining and I didn't want to risk getting my camera wet.  So, I just got these shots and went back home.

yeah I was surprised to still see plenty of RTSs...before, I usually went to West Falls Church for north-county Connector fanning, after not seeing RTSs there for a while, I thought they were gone. The only thing though is that every RTS I saw has been repainted, not sure if all the ones in service are repainted, but it seems like it.
