I attempted motion capture photography on the tube today. It took a long time to get the aperture right, being underground. I then just played around with shutter speeds to see what happened. It's not a great picture, granted. But this is a difficult technique and you have to start somewhere, right? I only had my 50mm prime lens on me which is why I could not get much of the inside of the tube in the frame. There is not quite enough in this picture to effectively convey the motion happening outside the train. Next time I'll know to use my kit zoom lens and feature more of the stationary components. Also, shutter speed in this instance was tricky because the train was always slowing down or speeding up when I had a chance to take a shot, therefore, the speed was never consistent. Maybe if I'd waited just a few seconds more, it may have been a better picture. All things to consider for next time. I'd like to try this again during my 'May Challenge' to see how I have/can improve.

Info: 1/50s, f/2.2, ISO 400.
