Last week, Irish Rail operated a late IWT liner that departed Dublin in the evening, instead on its normal mid-morning path.<\/p>\n

A group of my friends went to Cherry Orchard in the west Dublin suburbs to capture this relatively unusual move. While waiting for the freight, I made views of the evening passenger parade.<\/p>\n

The sky was clear of clouds and sun was aligned with the Cork line making some interesting possibilities of glint and silhouette photographs.<\/p>\n

In the 1990s, I exposed hundreds of images in this type of dramatic lighting conditions. The characteristics of Kodachrome 25 slide film made it well suited to glint photographs and I had my K25 exposures refined to a high art.<\/p>\n

Glint photographs are more difficult to capture digitally, and I find that I have to control contrast and use digital masks\/digital applied graduated neutral density filters in post processing to obtain the results that I expect.<\/p>\n

Glint light is an excellent means of capturing the drama of railways in motion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Key to this exercise is underexposing a raw file sufficiently to retain detail in the sky and glinty areas of the image, than lighten shadows while making localized highlight adjustments in post processing.<\/p>\n

These photos were made using my FujiFilm X-T1.<\/p>\n
