I scanned the photo the other day using a Nikon LS5000 slide scanner and processed the TIF file in Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like this image because it conveys motion, shows passengers inside the tram, and combines three of my favorite things in one image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like Pilsner Urquell, but my preferred Czech pilsner is Gambrinus, (brewed at Pilsner Urquell&#8217;s Plzen
