Yesterday, following a trip to the Down at the Farm Creamery, Kris and I returned to the Strasburg Rail Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only camera I had with me was my trusty FujiFilm XT1 and 12mm Zeiss Touit wideangle lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I might tell you that I only use my FujiFilm XT1 occasionally, instead preferring my Nikon Z cameras and Lumix LX7. However, since I December, I’ve exposed more than 800 images with the XT1. (So I guess I make pretty good use of this camera after all!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among these were the few photos that I made of Strasburg Rail Road’s 2-6-0 No. 89 working toward Cherry Hill Road. I wanted to make the most of the scene, and the Zeiss 12mm Touit was a pretty good option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I converted the camera’s RAF RAW file to a DNG file using DxO PureRaw, and then created two versions by making adjustments to color, contrast and exposure using Adobe LightRoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve included each my three files below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
This is the RAF RAW file following conversion to a DNG file but without correction, cropping, adjustment or changes, except for scaling for internet presentation with final output as a Jpg.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This is the same DNG file but following cropping and adjustments using multiple masks to improve contrast and exposure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I was dissatisfied with the first round of changes, so reset the previous round of corrections and began again. In this view, I masked the sky and made changes to exposure and contrast, then made a variety of subtle changes to contrast, color and exposure. Admittedly, the two interpretations are very similar, but I feel that this one has a bit more ‘snap’ to it, and just looks better.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
