Station

Dublin, Ireland, 2003: Commuters awaiting a train at Pearse St station in Dublin. This is one of the many reasons I love the Olympus XA2- being able to take sneaky shots in difficult light, yet still get well exposed & sharp images. This is straight off the scan- no edits… Olympus XA2/Kodak Tri-X

KPL

Dublin, Ireland, 2004: During the demonstrations of Mayday 2004 (see previous) I caught this image of a rather defiant couple. They acted completely oblivious to what was going on behind their backs… 10 minutes later the police charged- I got away but very much doubt they did… Canon EOS5/28-105/Tri-X

Gate

Burdans Gate, Pencarrow, Wellington, 2011: An experiment shooting with a Kiev-4m/Jupiter8 on bulb with cable release, on a Cullmann Magnesit Copter mini-tripod, plus holding an ND8 filter in front of the lens… Exposure time approx 3-5 seconds… Kiev-4m/Jupiter-8/Delta-400/LC-29
