Images are from a night shoot at the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, Va. Long exposure, incandescent light sources. EXIF should be intact, images are clickable links to larger versions on black.

Excellent series!

What were these for? The gallery looks like you had the run of the museum.
Does anyone want to bet that someone will come along & say that they're underexposed?

RAW imported to LR....Applied my night shoot preset, image then shipped to Elements 9 for final tweaks. Very little done other than basic levels and a bit of dodging and burning to bring up some detail and kill a couple of out of control highlights. Image was cropped to current format a small contrast adjustment and that is it. Image was processed on a laptop during the shoot to see if further adjustments were needed to the shooting styles.

Thanks Frank. These are mainly to expand my rail portfolio. We had the run of the museum. The shoot was a birthday gift from my wonderful wife.

I'm sure there are going to be a few that think they are underexposed, but I'm happy with the outcome and everyone that has seen the test prints has found them acceptable. ;)
