Mine locomotive in the Mine.

During our coal mine tour a few weeks ago, I exposed this image of a coal mine locomotive on display deep below the surface.

It was pretty dark inside the Lackawanna Coal Mine, so I set my Z7-II for ISO 8000 in order to record this photo handheld.

Afterwards, I made four versions of the same image. The first is a NEF RAW straight out of the camera. The second has been processed using Lightroom. The third is the NEF RAW after conversion to DNG format using PureRaw; the last is the Lightroom adjusted PureRaw DNG formatted file. Each is captioned appropriately.

All have been scaled for internet presentation.
