ACTION Tour 260409 - The Mountains

[Buzz Killington]

I'm going to break my photos up into a few threads, so that we're not opening threads with 20 photos in them, and since I am uploading a few at a time. Also note that this is one of my first attempts at bus photography, so any tips/advice would be appreciated. I'm kinda happy with the results. Some pics turned out ok, some bad, some half-decent!

Two photo stops on today's tour were Black Mountain and Mount Ainslie:


Black Mountain - Bus 700 from the front


Black Mountain - Bus 700 from the rear


Black Mountain - Front of 700

At Mt Ainslie, board member 'Ed' changes the roller desto. Here, we're halfway between 'Driver Training' and 'Dunlop Loop' (Irisbus Rider: "WOW!")

Nice. I can't offer constructive criticism because I'm no good with a camera but I think they're alright. I'm trying to pick which carpark that is but I've got no idea.

[Buzz Killington]

Thanks! It's the first carpark you get to at the top. To the left of the shot is the road the bus would normally take to get around to the stop, past the entrance to the tower. To the right of the shot is the road back out.

[Irisbus Rider]

Wow indeed.

And good to see the yellow fog lights on 700!

Great photos!
