I help compensate for the rich polarize morning sunshine, I&#8217;ve made a variety of nominal adjustments to contrast and exposure using Adobe Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also exposed a few 35mm color slides with a Nikon F3. Those remain in the camera, and it might be a while before I have them processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(And yes, we achived our objective and spent most of the day making dynamic photos of the 4-8-4 at work).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"281\" data-attachment-id=\"40196\"
