June 28 - July 5: Chicago FBLA NLC Bus Pics


Recommended Posts

Here are the pics. Sad bit of news as I was unable too, on 4 (man, I've got a lot to learn from Garmon and Bushunter) separate occasions, unable to catch sightings on the 120 (I was staying at the Embassy Suites Lakefront, on Illinois & Columbus/Fairbanks). I spotted 700, 4163, 800 on 120 and 4368, the lattermost I was able to catch a picture of next day on a NB 146 and 800 right before that on a NB 157. I have also included some photos of the new Circulator buses in DC. Enjoy! These were all taken with a Nokia Lumia 635 camera. Also, someone might want to check in on #4320, I took that photo somewhere between 12:40a and 1:30a (can't remember if i took it on my way to the Hyatt Regency or leaving it)WP_20150629_08_54_56_Pro.thumb.jpg.1fd72WP_20150629_08_55_02_Pro.thumb.jpg.52ffaWP_20150629_09_00_42_Pro.thumb.jpg.4ae26WP_20150629_09_00_48_Pro.thumb.jpg.e59aaWP_20150629_09_00_54_Pro.thumb.jpg.0ac05WP_20150629_09_00_59_Pro.thumb.jpg.84f9fWP_20150629_09_01_42_Pro.thumb.jpg.11f4bWP_20150629_09_01_44_Pro.thumb.jpg.0a7fbWP_20150629_09_02_15_Pro.thumb.jpg.4114eWP_20150629_09_02_19_Pro.thumb.jpg.e324aWP_20150629_09_04_33_Pro.thumb.jpg.08434WP_20150629_09_04_37_Pro.thumb.jpg.a4fa0WP_20150629_10_46_58_Pro.thumb.jpg.b7c51WP_20150629_10_49_26_Pro.thumb.jpg.6dcf4WP_20150629_10_49_30_Pro.thumb.jpg.f7890WP_20150629_10_52_23_Pro.thumb.jpg.aa1c9WP_20150629_10_52_45_Pro.thumb.jpg.1c0d3WP_20150702_21_41_34_Pro.thumb.jpg.0c77bWP_20150702_21_41_35_Pro.thumb.jpg.49f1cWP_20150702_21_41_46_Pro.thumb.jpg.e5da0WP_20150706_07_39_34_Pro.thumb.jpg.93444WP_20150629_08_44_42_Pro.thumb.jpg.19eaaWP_20150629_08_44_45_Pro.thumb.jpg.184f1WP_20150629_08_45_04_Pro.thumb.jpg.932a7WP_20150629_08_45_07_Pro.thumb.jpg.589b6WP_20150629_08_45_13_Pro.thumb.jpg.afe3dWP_20150629_08_54_34_Pro.thumb.jpg.a0c95WP_20150629_08_54_36_Pro.thumb.jpg.cf865WP_20150629_08_54_38_Pro.thumb.jpg.36057WP_20150706_07_39_37_Pro.thumb.jpg.5bdc2WP_20150706_07_40_34_Pro.thumb.jpg.b7482WP_20150706_07_40_37_Pro.thumb.jpg.bac3c

NewFlyerMCI, it takes time, this is just the natural process of learning your angles and positioning. I take it that this is your 1st photo shoot so you got a little excited. Practice makes perfect and as time progresses, you will get the shots!! I can't wait to see your journey of photography!!

Besides that, it probably takes a camera with zoom. I only used a $20 camera, so I got what I got, although after a while I made sure to check the electronic equivalent of the viewfinder to see if what I wanted was in the frame. The optic viewfinder was always off.

My question is whether or not those DC Circulator XD40s are better than the Vanhools?

They are. Unfortunately, seating in the front is aisle facing, but that doesn't surprise me. There are power outlets behind the 2 rows of seats behind the back doors on each side, but you have to have a USB connector (there are 2 USB ports). In essence, the front had some changes, but the back looks like a traditional Xcelsior. They are better than the A330's, with 2 doors (the three doors would've have only worked with open/all-door boarding), working air conditioning and power outlets, but only slightly better than the A300L (and by extension, the A300K)
