On May 6, 2017, I made a few rainy afternoon photos of Boston’s Green Line streetcars along Beacon Street.
These were exposed old school; a Leica IIIa loaded with Ilford HP5, exposure calculated using a hand-held Minolta Mark IV light meter.
In these views, I’ve divided up my frame to account for the white sky and the effect of contrast and tonality. Do you think these photos would work in color?
