Default Pictures from a bus

Having done that a couple of times, there are only 3 things that comes to mind right now

1) Take off any filter you have on your lenses (except clear or UV) as the tinting of the bus windows will interfere with it

2) Shutter priority - fast shutter speed cause those bus moves !

3) Good luck

Lots of hope and crossed fingers.

And always have your camera in your hand ready to shoot, that is
(1) Turned on
(2) ISO high enough to give you a fast shutter speed , as per metallion58 post, with a midrange aperture to give you a bit of leeway with DOF (F11?)
(3) Manual focus if auto focus has problems working through the bus window.
(4) Shoot RAW to give you more leeway when PPing.

Have a great time on your bus tour.
