The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland is naturally historically minded, obviously. But in this situation I\u2019ve used a vintage 1930s Leica IIIa with period Nikkor 35mm lens to expose traditional black & white film.<\/p>\n

All of these photos were made on RPSI\u2019s diesel tour to Galway and Kilkenny on 8 April 2017.<\/p>\n

For some images I used Kodak Tri-X processed in Iford ID11 and toned with selenium, for others I worked with Ilford FP4 (ISO 125) which I processed in Agfa Rodinal Special.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll spot subtle differences in tonality.<\/p>\n
