Working with slide film had its perils. Normally, I used 36 exposure roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I\u2019d carefully load my manual cameras and try to squeeze as many photos out of each rolls as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was risky, because often the last frame would get ruined in processing. So, I typically save that final frame for something less important, but still interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 23, 1997, my father and I waited on a Shinkansen platform at Nishi Akashi west of Osaka. I made a few photos of this passing Series 300 Series highspeed train as it blasted by at approximately 186mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with my old Nikon F3T, I exposed this final frame on a roll of Fuji Provia 100 as the train passed me at speed. In processing, Fuji cut the last little bit of the slide (to the left of the train). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years this slide sat in a box, unworthy of slide shows. I scanned it yesterday. Below are two versions. One is full frame, the other is cropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
