Brussels PCC Tram-1996

I exposed this color slide on a visit to Brussels with my father in May 1996.

I carried two cameras on that trip. My primary body was a Nikon F3T that I bought new from Nikon in 1990. My secondary camera was second hand Nikkormat FTN with an outer covering of red leather. I called it ‘my red Nikkormat’.

Back then, I’d usually load Kodachrome 25 in the F3T, and Fujichrome 100 in the Nikormat. I exposed film in both cameras manually using a handheld Sekonic Studio Deluxe light meter to calculate exposure.

Rail transit marathon

Girard Ave—January 21, 2014.

On this day seven years ago, a snow storm hit Philadelphia.

My brother and I went out into the snow to photograph SEPTA’s No. 15 trolley on Girard Avenue and run a few errands.

I made this image using my Canon EOS 7D with 200mm fixed Canon telephoto lens.

f4 at 1/500 sec with 200mm f2.8 lens. Photo adjusted from Canon camera RAW (CR2) using Adobe Lightroom.
