I’d use ‘gray’ in place of ‘dark’, but apparently the phraseology has assumed new meanings.
I could just say ‘Dublin in Black & White’, but that isn’t really correct either.
Working with my Nikon F3 loaded with Foma Classic 100 black & white film, I made these photos during March 2018 wintery weather in Dublin.
To keep my camera steady for long exposures, I used various tripods, depending on the surface and circumstance.
My exposures varied, but most were between 1 and 8 seconds. I calculated exposure manually using a Minolta IV Flash meter (in reflective mode).
I processed the Fomapan 100 film in Ilford ID-11 stock mixed 1-1 with water at 68F for 7 minutes 15 seconds, plus pre-soak with a token amount of Kodak HC110, then scanned negatives using an Epson V500 flatbed scanner.
Hello Mark,
Great to hear from you. Yes, that was me, although I lived in Monson (south of Palmer). Back in the 1980s, I recall your father working Conrail’s Palmer local (WAWS-2) among other trains. I’ll send you an email from my personal account in a little while as I’m on the train presently in Belfast, NI.
Talk soon,
Brian
Hello Brian, Just wondering if you are the same Brian Solomon from Palmer Mass? My father used to be a Engineer for Conrail in Palmer area and new a young guy by your name that loved taking photos of trains.
