Keep in mind that if the sky had been clear, this portion of the railroad would have been in deep shadow, conditions that may have made for more contrast and thus more difficult lighting conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I adjusted the camera NEF (RAW) files using Lightroom to improve the overall appearance of the photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
