In early June 2008, I made a day trip to San Diego from Long Beach, California. This involved a drive on the infamous LA freeways and a relaxing journey on Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner from Irvine to the old Santa Fe Depot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent several hours exploring the San Diego Trolley system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Santee Town Center, I made this view on Fujichrome using a Canon EOS-3 with 24mm lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I scanned the slide yesterday and processed the TIF scan using Lightroom. The top version involved some nominal contrast control to make the most of the original photo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the bottom image, I dramatically boosted saturation and other color controls to make the image bounce out of the screen, whack you upside the head, before quietly retreating into a mild levitation of exaggerated colors\u2014you know just in case the red trolley wasn’t red enough on its own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
