Monday on Tracking the Light, I posted my foiled attempts at picturing Irish Rail\u2019s heritage painted 071 on Belmond\u2019s Grand Hibernian.<\/p>\n

Persistence pays off. Well, that coupled with a bit of luck.<\/p>\n

A few minutes ago (12 September 2018), I returned on spec to my oft-photographed location at Islandbridge Junction for the down International Warehousing & Transport container train (Irish Rail\u2019s IWT Liner that runs Dublin to Ballina, Co. Mayo).<\/p>\n

I expected locomotive 234, which has been working this run for a while. Instead, I was rewarded with 071 in glossy orange paint. The clear sunny morning was an added bonus.<\/p>\n

Here are two versions. One is the in-camera JPG using the FujiFilm \u2018Velvia\u2019 colour profile. The other is an adjusted file from the camera RAW, where I\u2019ve lightened shadows and adjusted saturation and contrast. You can like one or both.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Camera RAW file, exported to Lightroom and modified for contrast and colour saturation to improve overall appearance. (Specifically to better balance the shadow areas, especially on the front of the locomotive.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If these don\u2019t work for you, I also made a Fujichrome Provia 35mm colour slide using at 40mm lens that takes in the whole scene.<\/p>\n
