On July 13, 2014, I visited Palmer, Massachusetts to try to make photos with trains and the rising full moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time I was working with my Canon EOS7D and a 100-400mm Canon zoom lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the camera firmly mounted on a tripod, I exposed this photograph near milepost 83. It was a relatively long exposure (2\/5ths of a second) using ISO1000 and a 190mm focal length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This image vexed me. It is nearly there, but the moon is overexposed and the headlight is too bright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night, I imported the Canon CR-2 RAW file into PureRaw for correction and conversion into DNG format. Then I imported the DNG into Lightroom for adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The processed photo is better than the unconverted image, but it’s still lacking. I wonder if using my modern Nikon Z cameras and PureRaw processing if I could have overcome some of the flaws inherent with this photo?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
