Old 89’s Drama Enhanced

I made this image of Strasburg Rail Road’s 2-6-0 89 charging up the grade toward Esbenshade Road with my Z7-II with 70-200mm Nikkor zoom.

To make the most of image, I applied a variety of corrections to the original NEF RAW photo using Adobe Lightroom.

The end result was even more dramatic than the original.

Without cosmetic modification.
