Rails through the Street at Mainz at Dusk—8 photos!

1 Comment

During my Rhein travels in September, I had the opportunity to make a few photographs of the narrow gauge tram network at Mainz.

In the fading light of that day, I exposed these photos using my FujiFilm X-T1 and Lumix LX-7.

Mainz is one of dozens of German cities with an active tram network. Someday, I hope to be able explore it fully.

Panning and low angles a nice trick from making more dramatic tram pictures.
