On December 21, 2015, I exposed this photo of Amtrak’s Christmas Tree at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station using my Lumix LX7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I processed the original Lumix RAW file using PureRaw. This shows the entire image capture, which owing to the pecularities of the lens design produces an oddly shape field of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I imported the PureRaw conversion into LightRoom and cropped it to produce a classic rectangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you wonder what someone in the future might think of the uncropped RAW image? It might be difficult comprehend that at the time of exposure, I never saw the wildly distorted image as captured in the RAW file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
