at Shirley on the way back from Cape Cod last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We rolled by MBTA trains under clear Spring skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gave me the opportunity to try out my third Lumix LX7 on moving trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d fitted the wee digital camera with an external viewfinder, a small electronic attachment that makes it much easier to photograph moving trains in bright sunshine with the mirrorless Lumix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working from the Lumix RAW file, I made this interpretation in Adobe Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large
