Metaphorically. (In fact, it was the same old L.A. hazy sunlight.)

I’ve been going through some of my older digital photo files to locate images that might not have made the ‘final cut’ at the time of exposure, and reprocessing them using the latest software.

Working with DxO PureRaw 5, I converted this ten year old FujiFilm RAF RAW file into DNG format. This include processing using DxO DeepPrime3. The end result is a cleaner, crisper file than what I’d originally found out of the camera from my FujiFilm XT1.

At the end of July 2016, I’d visited Fullerton, California, east of Los Angeles on the former Santa Fe, and made this image of inbound MetroLink train 687 with a MP36PH-3C at the back of the consist.

After conversion to a DNG format, I imported the file into Lightroom for nominal processing to improve highlights and shadows.

Although subtle, I was pleased with the end result, which has encouraged me to continue searching through my older images to find hidden treasures.
