Irish Rail 215 in Fresh Paint on September 9, 2014.

It was a bright day in suburban Dublin on this day ten years ago when I made this telephoto view of Irish Rail 215 in fresh paint leading the Up IWT Liner (Ballina to Dublin’s North Wall) on the quad track at Lucan South.

My camera of choice that day was a Canon EOS-7D with a prime 100mm lens.

I’ve included two versions of the photo; one is the in-camera color profile, the other is adjusted from the Canon RAW file using Adobe Lightroom to improve color balance, increase color saturation and lighten the shadows.

Special thanks to Colm O’Callaghan for his assistance with my photography on that day.

Scaled, but otherwise unmodified file.
This version was a modified from the Canon RAW file using Lightroom to improve color and contrast for internet presentation.
