I took over 1000 photos last week but ended up deleting a quarter. Of the remainder I'll post just a few to give you an idea of how my trip went. Of course I had faulty battery problems to start with. :lol:

i was in HK last year(3rd trip there),was able to try their MTR,BART should copy their protective glass dividers for safety of incoming passengers. nice pix, but most of them are not working. :(

Really they aren't working?? D:


Yeah I was actually thinking the same thing about the MTR. There's a lot of stuff BART could learn and implement from MTR.

We probably don't need it but some Stations are kinda drab looking. MTRs have a lot of shops going on besides transportation.

MR Evo 8 - haha where's that at?

Rod - yah of course. ;)

Charlie - 18-200mmVR on a D80. I'm using Vivid color and there's some postprocessing. Trust me some of the photos you see weren't even close to the originals. :lol: Magics xD

Boost - you should I think you'd have a ball with all the scenery and locales :)

Haha, good photoshop skills then. I've never tried the different color modes. We're using the same lens, but I suck at photoshop so yeaaaah. :(

Come out to the Gellert meet tomorrow and show me how you do it! :)

No wide body, different aero. He's pretty good at concealing most of it with add on stuff but the rear fenders give it away.
