I like the curving track in the shadow of the hillside at Tamaqua, Pa. This has that classic look of old time mountain railroading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are two versions of the same digital file. I exposed this view of Reading & Northern’s vintage EMD diesels in early evening light using my Nikon Z7-II. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top photo is an in-camera JPG that was enhanced at the time of exposure using Nikon’s Active D-Lighting setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom photo is the camera’s NEF RAW file with adjustments in post processing using Adobe Lightroom. These refined the contrast and controlled highlight and shadow setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
