Fotoeins Friday: the D in Vienna Nussdorf
A city is and should be more than the sum of its most visited spots.
I’ve just disembarked the D streetcar in Vienna’s northern neighbourhood of Nussdorf. I’m here to see a piece of urban architecture which is a part of Otto Wagner’s legacy for the city. Even mid-morning on Saturday is light on traffic with few pedestrians around, but near proximity along the Danube means there are a lot of bicyclists on the roads today. Not only is the ubiquitous red streetcar a moving highlight for Vienna, the vehicle is a moving medium transporting resident and visitor through all phases of Vienna history.
I made the picture above on 19 May 2018 with a Fujifilm X70 fixed-lens prime and settings: 1/500-sec, f/16, ISO1000, and 18.5mm focal length (28mm full-frame equivalent). This post appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins.com as https://wp.me/p1BIdT-bY6.

Hi, Cornelia. Please call me ‘Henry’. I hope there’ll come a day when I can experiment with film, but in the meantime, it’s all digital, all the time. 😊

So sorry, Henry, for not addressing you with the proper name. Yeah, the days of real film will come back again. Happy photographing to you.

No apologies necessary, Cornelia! Back when I was a boy, I remember Dad had an old Pentax film camera, and I like to think I’ve been carrying that memory in the back of my mind for many years.
