  1. I'm getting pretty sick of my mind constantly trying to pick out patterns when in reality none exist... ENOUGH ALREADY, DAMMIT.

  2. Wow @ the attendance office at my school... every other week, I get a call from them proclaiming that I was absent from a class which I really was in. Today has to be the worst... supposedly I was absent in the middle of the day and then came back. I saw the attendance from yesterday and I wasn't even marked absent mistakenly. How do you screw up something like this?

      Teachers can't do anything to you, it's the office you gotta watch out for.

      There's no such thing as attendance for me anymore...professors don't care.

  3. Trying to design a livery for a fictional airline... this is a lot harder than I thought it would be!

      Luckily the only painting I'll have to do is to fictional models in Trainz. I just can't for the life of me think of a good color combo :P

      Oh... well, it was nicer earlier on, from what I've gathered in the shoutbox. Meanwhile, here we've had 3 days of rain. Today was quite nasty - I had a little puddle of water in my shoes when I returned. I suck at describing shit so y'all probably have no idea what type of weather I'm talking about.

  6. Beginning work on a street map for my fictional municipality (Redpit Island)... the file size is 1 gb at the moment...

      Good old fashioned paint.net, with a lot of help measuring distances from Google Maps.

      You should download Adobe Illustrator or something that can work with vector graphics and layers. It'll be immensely helpful when you need to make revisions or just see one aspect of a map.

  7. Finally caught the KLM 747 and Emirates A380 at Pearson Airport today.

      @mtattrain: Traffic lights as well, I was interested in them yet knew practically nothing about them.

  9. Never thought I'd catch myself foaming but it has happened... I have stumbled upon photos I took in Europe during my trip in 2008 and I am amazed at all the cool things I took photos of that I didn't even realize! Wow.

      That's foaming???

      No... my reaction was.

  10. Would anyone be interested in seeing the bus photos I took when I was in the city in August? I didn't post them when I first signed up but I figure now would be as good a time as any.

      Why wouldn't you post them, by all means do so!

  11. The Orion V is superior to every other bus in service today.

      Orions are decent, except for Orion IIIs, Orion VIs (with doors at the very back) and hybrid VIIs. I and V would definitely have to be Orion's best work, although those are not without fault either (such as the lack of stainless steel frames on the V prior to 2000.)

      Well even though I am an RTS fan, I will admit the ex bl o5s are handling better Than i expected given the abuse they have faced from mta bus. Lol, as for the cng bus, well I still don't see why anyone would want to jump thru all that red tape to own one when there must be plenty of the diesel version...

    4. ttcsubwayfan

      ttcsubwayfan

      RTS is alright, but TTC's are rather poor so I can't really comment on them. One of the TTC's Orion V series is also heavily abused on the busiest routes in the city, and they just keep on ticking. Only a single unit has been retired.

       

      As for CNGs... my favorite series of TTC buses is 50 ex-CNG Vs. I think they're better as diesels, but that's just my personal opinion. Plus, they got the Cummins M11 - good stuff.

  12. Went out fanning today and I caught an Orion V and an RTS on routes where they don't belong. What good fortune! (Toronto)

      There was an RTS on Steeles East? Dang, my rarest sighting of one was on Sheppard West.

  16. Anyone got any advice for taking photos of moving trains in the subway with a P&S camera?

      That's good - at least you have some control over it. Another tip is do not decrease the aperture (in other words don't make the f-number higher). You're going to need all the light you can get. Also if you camera can zoom, keep in mind that by zooming in it will be forced to lower its aperture, meaning less light will go into your camera.

      Do not use any of the semi auto modes (A, S, P, except for maybe shutter priority). Manual makes most sense. A high shutter speed is needed, but don't go to high. With a P&S, anywhere above 1/50th of a second is too dark. Their is not much room for adjustment because below 1/30th there will be blur.

  20. I'll be going on vacation to Mont Tremblant in a week and I'm seriously considering not using the internet at all during that time. It seems I can't go anywhere now without reading people spreading around nonsensense believed by morons and I can hardly consider it a relaxing vacation if I have to deal with this idiocy while I'm there.

      Same here @B3, except for me It's the entire rat race called the internet. I think it does me more harm than good.

      It was supper foggy today. My plan to photograph an A380 flopped. Sadly, I had to get to the airport to figure that out.

  22. Sure will be glad when my exams are done next Monday (the 28th). I hate being a student.

  23. 2013 is looking like it's going to go the exact same way 2012 did. Not good.

  25. Just stood ankle-deep in snow for 10 minutes waiting to photograph a bus that didn't come. That was a waste of time.
