Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: Plus-X

This was just a random, lucky shot with the Contina. When I saw the scene, I knew that I wanted it.

Here's the newly modernised mainline south of Senohraby, albeit obscured by snow.

This was another random shot, taken at the Narodni Trida tram stop. The Metro station is hidden back in the construction site. During the 1990's-2000's, that construction site was home to a number of additional shops next to Tesco's, on the far left, although now it's reverted to its Communist-era appearance as a mudpit. I'm not sure exactly what the plan is for it, but it probably won't be left in this state for long.

Nadrazi Senohraby was recently modernised, and so I've been taking more photos there this year than in the past. The trains, however, are often still ancient, like this Class 451 "Pantograph" EMU from the 1960's.

A number of express trains don't stop in Hostivar, so I've been able to get quite a few action shots there. The snowy days are the best, though, since powdered snow exaggerates the sensation of speed.

There's usually a Class 742 diesel idling in Hostivar as well, handling local switching and freight as needed.

Here's another shot of the container train.

There's also a lot of freight traffic through Hostivar, mostly consisting of container trains. The next stop south is actually Urineves, which has an intermodal facility.

Here's an alternate shot of the City Elefant.

In January, a lot of City Elefants were still working the Praha Hlavni Nadrazi-Benesov u Prahy locals, although I haven't seen them much lately.

This shot was taken from just outside the Vysehrad Metro Station. The structure barely visible on the far right is Nuselsky Most, I think. The domed building in the distance is the largest Russian Orthodox church in Prague.

The day after I finished my roll of Fujicolor Superia 1600, I tried the Plus-X roll in my Zeiss-Ikon Contina LK, and started it in Krc, taking more snow pictures. The snow still hadn't melted, so it still looked like New York more than Prague.

Haje was just as buried as Krc. One of the problems I had in scanning the negs was that the shots were a little bit too bright, but my scanner was also a factor. As you can see, a slight post process is all that the shots needed.

Vysehrad had an exceptional amount of snow, maybe because the whole neighborhood (formerly a seperate city) is on a hill. This is an exterior view of the Metro station.

This church, on Stepanska, is not one that I'm very familiar with. I might put up more historical detail later.

This was another shot taken in Haje. There was a certain about of snow still coming down when I took this, creating a slight haze.

My family know that I shoot mostly film (at least for display), so it was natural that I would get a lot of film for Christmas, although the roll of expired Fujicolor Superia 1600 there was sitting in a drawer for a couple of years until I got around to shooting it on the Prague Metro. It's in my Nikon now, with one shot to go. I'm hoping to finish it today and get it developed immediately, so that I can have my second set of Metro shots ever committed to film (the rest are cameraphone shots). The Plus-X is at the lab, after I used it to shoot the snow in Prague earlier this month in my Contina (the first time that camera has been used in over a year), and the Ektar and the BW400CN are still in my camera bag waiting to be used.
