Saturday, I made this view of a former Reading Company caboose at Kempton, Pennsylvania on the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was shortly before 3pm and the sun was still high in the July sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using my Nikon Z6 with 24-70mm I exposed the photo in both JPG and RAW. Then in post processing using Adobe Lightroom, I adjusted the camera RAW (NEF format) so that I made full use of the camera’s dynamic range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice how in the adjusted versions you can see detail inside the caboose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Nikon Z6 is prized for its dynamic range, in other words its ability to capture detail at the extreme end of the range from dark to light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
