Kip Farrington would have something to say about that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Conway, I made photo of Santa waving from the railroad&#8217;s vintage former Central Vermont wooden body caboose using my Nikon Z6 with 24-70mm Z-series zoom lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">After exposure, I modified the NEF RAW file using Adobe Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
