Muni Boeing-Vertol LRV\u2019s catch the glint.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0In 1992, I was living on Haight Street in San Francisco, just a short walk from this location. One August morning, I got up early to make photos of Muni<\/a>\u2019s light rail cars exiting the Muni Metro on Duboce in the sunrise glint light.<\/p>\n

Exposed on Fujichrome 100 with a Nikon F3T fitted with an f1.8 105mm Nikkor lens, scanned with an Epson V600 desktop scanner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For this image, I\u2019ve used the trees at the left to shade the front element from direct sun to minimize flare. Although it was a clear morning, the sun was tinted by pollution that I remember as being a common effect in the Bay Area, especially in the summer.<\/p>\n

My goal was to catch a car taking the wye from the J-Church line heading west on the N-Judah line, which was a common way for Muni to position cars in the morning. While I did make that photo, I felt this image was actually a better picture.<\/p>\n

It shows an inbound J-Church car turning toward the subway portal with an N-Judah car outbound.<\/p>\n

Although, I commonly used Kodachrome at the time, for this image I used Fujichrome 100 (before the introduction of Provia), which I processed myself at the photo studio where I worked in South San Francisco. Among my studio duties was running E6 transparency film. We used a roller transport machine and mixed the chemistry on site.<\/p>\n
