Working with a Nikon F3 with f1.4 50mm lens loaded with Fomapan 100 Classic, I exposed these portraits of some of the men working Railway Preservation Society\u2019s 18 March 2019 trips from Dublin Connolly Station to Maynooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 I processed the film in a non-standard way to obtain a period look while giving photos optimal tonality in a contrasty situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First: I pre-soaked film it in a very dilute bath of Kodak HC110 (measured 3 parts per 1000 with water, plus wetting agent) for about 7 minutes at 72 F;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second: primary developer consisted of Ilford ID-11 1 to 1 with water at 69 F for 6 minutes;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third: following stop bath, two fixer baths, and a thorough 10 minute rinse, I toned the negatives in a 1-9 selenium solution (outdoors to avoid breathing toxic fumes) for 8 minutes. This was followed by several rinse cycles and a final rinse in distilled water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Negatives were scanned in colour to retain the selenium tint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
