Friday, September 2, 2022, former Maine Central GP38 252 led the Valley train on its return run from Conway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made this view from the roof of the North Conway Station using my Nikon Z6 with 70-200mm Z-series zoom lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I set the camera Color Profile to ‘VI’ (Vivid), the white balance was at ‘Auto,’ and the exposure to ‘A’ (aperture priority). I selected f6.3, the camera metering selected 1\/500th of a second. I had the lens full extended at 200mm. I was working with the NEF (RAW) file setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adobe Lightroom enables me to apply the camera’s preset color profile to the NEF file while making adjustments to the file. Below are two versions. The top image is basically out of the camera and without modifications except for scaling, the bottom reflects minot adjustments to color temperature, shadow and highlight density, and a slight adjustment to the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not entirely satisfied with the image, so I’ll try it again sometime. Maybe with a slightly longer lens and different lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
