B&W photography off images

Post by dalremnei »

Two images from a recent roll of Ilford XP2 I shot that I think look great on the DM42.

That shot of the Metro leaving Wallsend Station is very good. I've put it on my new DM42 🙂

Thanks! I'm quite surprised you could recognise the station given how much of the background I cropped out and the 1-bit format of off images. Guessing you live in Newcastle?

I live in Jarrow!

In your photo, the location give-away is the bridge. It's unique on the network.

Well spotted! I got out there to check out the Latin signs on a trip to Newcastle specifically to try the metro. It's a very fun system to travel, especially from the front seat, which reminded me a lot of the DLR. This is another shot from the same roll:

Nice. That particular stretch of the line between North Shields and Tynemouth is crazy above-ground; it's a cut and cover, with both road bridges and buildings above it.

The front seats are all closed off now, and the replacement trains won't have them.
