Yesterday, 30 November 2018, I located a collection of my Irish Rail slides from 2005. Among them were these views of \u2018bubble cement\u2019 \u00a0trains (consisting of pressurized four-wheel powdered cement wagons) passing Islandbridge in Dublin on 26th<\/sup>of May that year.<\/p>\n

These were exposed on Fujichrome Sensia II (100 ISO) and processed at Photocare on Abbey Street in Dublin.<\/p>\n

I scanned these using an Epson V750Pro flatbed scanner making large TIF files, then made colour and contrast adjustments using Lightroom to improve presentation. In addition, I also implemented some digital sharpening to make the photos prior to outputting as scaled JPGs (for Internet presentation) to\u00a0 make these appear closer to modern digital images.<\/p>\n

Irish Rail stopped operating cement through Dublin about a decade ago, and so these views are now historic.<\/p>\n
