All Aboard

Hong Kong has one of the highest population densities in the world and a very small metro network, which means that it gets incredibly busy but trains are frequent and clean!

 

One my memories of the HK metro system from my last visit is that the trains seemed to go on forever, I tried taking a photo looking straight down train but didn’t do a very good job… it turned out blurred and not very well composed but that was back in 2008 and I’d only just got my camera.

 

On boxing day I was up and about very early to go out and shoot a sunrise (picture coming soon ☺) and I hadn’t really planned on trying to get an empty train but that’s what I got on the way to my location, I was also lucky enough to be on the end carriage so I could get a view down the whole train… it didn’t stay empty for long though… maybe about 20 seconds.

 

I know that a lot of people don’t like selective colour, and I’m one of them but if it’s used sparingly I think that it can work well… I was at a loss as to how to process this picture, I wanted to show the depth but in the colour there are way too many distractions

 

Have a great weekend all
