TRAX train at speed

TRAX train at speed
Originally uploaded by Dornoff Photography

Yesterday, I had to take my car in for its routine maintenance at Champion Ford on 9000 South. On the way I stopped at the TRAX crossing of 8680 South just a few hundred feet from where I used to live.

I tried with my previous digital camera to do some slow shutter speed shots in order to blur the motion of the TRAX trains, but that camera's settings were not good enough to get a good picture.

Now, armed with my new Nikon SLR, I took these pictures which came out substantially better than the previous ones I tried. I think the picture does a good job of conveying the speed at which the TRAX train is traveling.
