MAX at Washington Park Station

At 260 feet (70 meters) underground, Washington Park is the deepest transit station in the US.

Phil,

Geez, how did you get the sharp picture? Definitely on a tri-pod.. What'ya shootin' these days?? My friend and I tried to shoot MAX and we had several operators ask us to not photography down there.. Even approached by a Portland Police officer about two people acting weird/strange with cameras down there.. Oh boy!!!

Thanks for the comment, Zach. Still shooting with my trusty Rebel XT. This was shot handheld, at 18mm, f/2.8, ISO 1600. Gave me a more-than-sufficient shutter speed of 1/125 (should have dropped the ISO to 800). I did add a touch of noise reduction in post-processing, but the image was pretty clean out of the camera.

I didn't encounter anyone telling me not to take photos. I was actually going to the zoo, so I wasn't underground for very long.
