Tag Archives: 1916 Easter Rising

Real Photo of Photo Collage of Trams on the side of a Bus—Dublin, September 2016.

 

I’m serious.

An historic photo of trams on O’Connell Street has been displayed on the side of a tour bus that’s on for the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin.

Also, a more modern image of a tram is part of the collage of images.

My view is an abstraction. I exposed this using a Nikon F3 with 50mm Nikkor lens on Ilford FP4 (35mm black & white film).

I processed it in Kodak HC110 using ‘dilution B’ (1:32 stock to water), stop, fix, wash dry (with various intermediate steps). Then scanned with an Epson V500 flatbed scanner for presentation here.
