Alex is a passenger train operator in Germany that connects Munich and Lindau among other routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven years ago (18 April 2016) a group of us had selected an overhead bridge near Lindau to catch an Munich bound train. I exposed this photo using my FujiFilm XT1 with 18-135mm lens set to 18mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lighting was uniform and bright, which illuminate the train nicely, and I liked the subtle Spring colors. However, the unmodified RAF\/RAW file tends to display a slightly overexposed white sky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To correct for the relative over exposure, I imported the camera RAF (Fuji RAW) file into Lightroom and used the ‘select sky’ feature, which automatically identifies the sky areas, and then used the ‘highlights’ slider to lower the sky density relative to the rest of the photo and thus better display detail and make for a more realistic image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
