The Ashmont-Mattapan Line on 35mm


Here are a few photos of the MBTA Mattapan trolley shot on 35mm Kodak Ektar 100.

This was a snapshot as I was walking and saw some nice light finally hitting the trolley.

I had to get the classic Boston Instagrammer shot.

In the field I liked the composition of the trolley going around the curve, but I think it needs a longer lens to really make it work.

A fairly blurry photo of a Mattapan Line PCC

This was my best result from several attempts at a motion blur panning shot as the light faded (turns out it’s hard to get a sharp panning shot with an old film camera!).
