At faster speeds, the camera outstrips the refresh rate of the LEDs, and the blind fails to reproduce. So it is easier with a stationary bus than with a moving one. The usual solution for moving buses is to use the camera's ability to take a series of pictures very quickly - 9 times out of 10, at least one of these will capture the blind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-80942421336070164592014-05-28T20:44:14.903+01:002014-05-28T20:44:14.903+01:00372 had broken down this evening (28/05) on Tavist...372 had broken down this evening (28/05) on Tavistock Road in Crownhill, not enough fuel for the round trip to North Devon?!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-73857668294120982682014-05-27T18:33:09.771+01:002014-05-27T18:33:09.771+01:00I think to an extent it is mose definitely down to...I think to an extent it is mose definitely down to luck, although from my experience I'd say a dull cloudy day you tend to have more chance than on a sunny day.
