Clear sky and bright sun at Hyannis, Massachusetts made for an opportunity to expose some comparative photos.
We had just arrived on Cape Cod Central’s midday excursion train, and I’d ambled to the headend to make photos (as you do).
Below are a couple of examples. The first photo is an Ektachrome E100 color slide; the bottom three are variations of a digital image.
There’s no right and wrong here, just some comparatively contrasty photos.
