Rail\u2019s sugar beet operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with a Rollei Model T that I\u2019d bought in San Francisco a few weeks earlier, I exposed a sequence of 120-size black &amp; white photos on Kodak Tri-X of NI Railways 112 (on long-term loan to Irish Rail) that was shunting four-wheel sugar beet wagons for loading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To obtain greater shadow detail and superior overall tonality, I rate the film at ISO 200 (one stop slower than the advertised 400 ISO) and processed it in a dilute bath of Ilfotec HC high-contrast developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For presentation here, I scanned the negatives last week using an Epson V750 flatbed scanner and then scaled\/sized the TIFs for internet viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could make wall-size prints from the original negatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"26611\"
