Here\u2019s a few black & white views exposed last week on Kodak Tri-X of Irish Rail\u2019s branch from Islandbridge Junction to the North Wall\/Connolly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, Irish Rail has expanded service on the Grand Canal Docks\u2014Hazel Hatch\/Newbridge run and now trains run at least hourly throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a Grand Canal Docks bound passenger train was the daily Up IWT Liner (Ballina to North Wall, Dublin).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since these trains were coming out of the relatively harsh midday sun, I opted to work with black & white film, which makes the most of the contrast and allows me to control shadow and highlight detail to a greater degree than with my digital cameras, while giving the images a period look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To maximize tonality and detail from the negatives I employed a \u2018split process\u2019 using two developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First I use a very weak solution of Kodak HC110 mixed 1 to 250 to water. To intensify the detail in shadows while avoiding over processing highlight areas, I keep the developer temperature comparatively high (73F) and allow it to work to exhaustion. My second developer is Ilford ID mixed 1-1 for 6 minutes 45 seconds with one minute agitation intervals. Then stop; fix 1, fix 2, rinse for 3 minutes, hypoclear, then a series of final washes. Dry and scan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
