My photo of Conway Scenic Railroad’s Mountaineer<\/em> graces the cover of September\/October 2023 Bus Tours Magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this post I thought it would be nice to say something useful about the photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding it proved challenging. It’s not like I have one photo of the Mountaineer on Crawford Notch. More like one-thousand. I’m not bragging. It made finding this one a real challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The image was not in the usual Mountaineer selections. An image from the same location has appeared a number of places in recent months, and that photo was made with my Canon EOS7D. But this photo was a puzzle. It wasn’t made with the Canon, but rather with my Nikon Z6. Once I found the correct day in October 2021, I reviewed several sequences looking for a vertical wide-angle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was coming up with a goose-egg. Finally after some searching, I started reviewing my original NEF RAW files and found the image I was looking for. This was exposed as a horizontal and cropped vertical! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are three versions. The cover of Bus Tours Magazine; the original un-modified NEF RAW file, and an approximation of the modified and cropped file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
