It was a dark rainy afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kris and I wandered over to the Strasburg Rail Road to watch steam in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engine No. 90, a 2-10-0, leading a Santa’s Paradise Express<\/em> excursion had met another excursion at Groffs and was accelerating upgrade toward the East Strasburg station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My handy Lumix LX7 was my camera of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I expose this photo as color RAW image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In post processing, I converted the photo to monochrome using the saturation slider control, then made a variety of adjustments to contrast and exposure to manipulate appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are the original file, a basic black & white conversion, and my final adjusted photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
