What? Not another of those InterCity Railcars?!<\/p>\n

Yep.<\/p>\n

I made these views from the St. John\u2019s Road Roundabout bridge at Killmainham\/Islandbridge in Dublin.<\/p>\n

The light was fading, the train was shadowed and the situation routine: Irish Rail\u2019s ICR pass this spot dozens of times daily. In fact, these trains rumble up and down all day long.<\/p>\n

What initially caught my interest was the sunset glow in the north-west sky.<\/p>\n

I made these photos using my Lumix LX7, which exposes a RAW file.<\/p>\n

After the fact, I made some heavy handed adjustments to exposure, contrast, colour balance and colour saturation to show what is possible with post processing.<\/p>\n

Here’s my first adjusted file; working with the RAW I’ve made a variety of alterations.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In addition to enhancing the sky, I lightened the train and cutting while making a variety of localize adjustments, such as to the flowers at lower left.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m using the same essential approach that I used to apply to my black & white photography when making prints in the darkroom, except its now done digitally on the computer.<\/p>\n

The graffiti at lower right is bit of an annoyance. In my final version, I\u2019ve darkened the area around the graffiti to minimize it.<\/p>\n
