September Sunset at Esbenshade Road in Strasburg. Filtered late summer sun made for classic golden glint light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years ago, I made a project of captureing trains in the glint light on Kodachrome. This film had a wonderful ability to render glint that made for many stunning slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other night I used my Nikon Z7-II to capture the fading summer sun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the most of the scene, I set the camera to ‘M’ (manual) and dialed in my shutter speed and aperture by using the in-camera histogram to get the most effective pixel distribution from dark to-light . This resulted in about a stop darker than the in-camera meter was suggesting in ‘A’ mode (automatic).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After exposure, I balanced the image with post processing controls using Adobe Lightroom. In this way I was able to maintain detail in the sky and on the side of the train, while keeping the shadows from becoming opaque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
