On Christmas Day I decided to make a few photos of Seamus-the-dog with my old Canon EOS-7D. I’d bought this digital camera back in June 2010, and for nearly five years it was my primary digital image making tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When, I went to download the camera, I found a variety of older files that I’d ‘locked’ onto the camera’s CF card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although these images have been preserved elsewhere on hard drives, I thought it was fascinating that after more than 10 years, these old digital files had survived on the original card. So, I downloaded a few of them for advanced digital processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d always prized my Canon for its exceptional ability to reproduce color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I imported a select few of the Canon RAW IMG files, and then converted these to DNG format using DxO PureRaw, which corrected lens defects, minimized noise, and improved overall appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These photos were among a selection that I’d exposed at North Carolina’s Spencer Shops ‘Streamliners at Spencer’ event in May\/June 2014, and feature Soo Line FP7 2500, a General Motors classic preserved by the Lake Superior Transportation Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
