On Houston's METRORail

So after two and a half years of living in Huntsville, I finally rode Houston's light rail. Here are some pictures I took while on board. These were shot on a Nikon D70 with the 50mm 1.4 prime. I kept the aperture at 2.0, shutter at 1/60 and faster, and the ISO around 400. I was pleased with how sharp they came out, considering I took them handheld while the train was in motion. What's more, is the lighting was fluorescent, which made it easy to achieve that amazing green tint with the right white balance and a little processing. Anyway, here are the pictures.

And here's one not from METRORail. I took it a few hours before the rest in an abandoned parking garage in downtown Houston.

Amazing pictures of the Metro rail cars. No, wait, there weren't any.

You and/or your friends are very cool and hip looking, but I really expected to see some light rail photos, not an advertisement for the Gap. :2lol:

Sorry, it's just that images without people have really lost my interest. But if you absolutely need to see the train, here's the only one that really came out (it was dark out, sorry).
