July 3, 1992, I was poised on a hillside in Talent, Oregon to photograph Southern Pacific’s eastward RVME-M (Roseville to Medford manifest) on the sinuous Siskiyou Line<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Nikon F3T was loaded with Kodachrome and fitted with a 35PC lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An unfortunate cloud drifted in front of the sun moments before the freight descended into view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night I opted to import a scan of this dark chrome into Adobe Lightroom where I imposed a series of small adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are two images: a scaled version of the othersie unadjusted scan, and my re-interpreted photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t change the clouds, but I can lighten the image and adjust the color temperature and contrast to make for a nominally more pleasing photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
