Although, I’ve made countless photos at Esbenshade Road, on this occasion I was interigued by the crop patterns in the field on the northside of the Strasburg Rail Road tracks.
The combination of a richly textured sky and these foreground patterns made for an interesting setting.
I made a sequence of images using my Nikon Z7-II mirrorless. In post-processing I created two variations from the same cropped NEF RAW file.

Eleven years ago, I attended the Streamliners at Spencer event in North Carolina with fellow photographer Pat Yough.
Over the course of three days I exposed hundreds of photos of the myriad preserved locomotives and roling stock on display.
While the various EMD diesels were the stars of the show, one of the curiosities was this former Santa Fe Railway Alco PA dressed as Nickel Plate Road 190.
Working with a Lumix LX7, I made this image at dusk on the evening of 31 May 2014.
Below are three versions (all scaled for internet presentation as Jpg images);

The other day at Port Clinton, Pa., I made the most of back-lit midday light. By working in the various elements of the scene, I created a composition that seems pleasing to the eye. Instead of cursing the high sun, I’m featuring it.
To make the photo work, I intentionally underexposed the RAW file with the intent of lightening shadows and controling highlights during post processing
Below I’ve included both a scaled (un-edited) image, and the post processed version of the same file.
Post processing was performed on the NEF RAW using Adobe Lightroom.
