30th Street on this day Ten Years Ago.

On December 21, 2015, I exposed this photo of Amtrak’s Christmas Tree at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station using my Lumix LX7.

I processed the original Lumix RAW file using PureRaw. This shows the entire image capture, which owing to the pecularities of the lens design produces an oddly shape field of view.

I imported the PureRaw conversion into LightRoom and cropped it to produce a classic rectangle.

Do you wonder what someone in the future might think of the uncropped RAW image? It might be difficult comprehend that at the time of exposure, I never saw the wildly distorted image as captured in the RAW file.

This is the same image as above, following cropping and cosmetic adjustment to shadow areas and color balance.
