\u00a0<\/em>Working on Fujichrome slide film, I first exposed a sequence of photos of the train coming through the switch at CP64 using my old Canon EOS3 with 400mm lens. Those slides remain latent (unprocessed) because I haven\u2019t finished the roll yet.<\/p>\n Then at the last moment I decided to make this image using my FujiFilm XT1 with 90mm lens<\/p>\n The difficulty is the extreme exposure difference between backlit sun on tracks at CP64 and the inky shadows on the line immediately to the east. Since my exposure was set for the sunlit sections, the shadow areas were underexposed.<\/p>\n The alternative was to expose for the shadows and let the highlights blow out (lose data), which would make for a lighter train, but less data captured.<\/p>\n In post processing, I worked with the Fuji RAW image, lightening the shadows, while adjusting color temperature and contrast. I\u2019ve presented three images.<\/p>\n The darkest photo (above) is a JPG made without adjustment; the lighter two represent variations in post-processing adjustment.<\/p>\n If nothing else, these photos demonstrate the great dynamic range possible with the Fuji X-T1 digital camera.<\/p>\n Personally, I\u2019m curious to see how my slides turn out!<\/p>\n This image was an afterthought.
