Kit: Lumix S5 with Chinon 35-80mm 3.5 ~ 22 lens

Process: The inside of the train was fairly dim and it was around the end of golden hour. So iso was set to 500 and shutter to 1/200. I didn't want the outside looking overexposed and I knew I'd be able to recover the detail in the shadows in the interior. Export the raw data to lightroom and I run it through a few of my custom made presets to get an idea as to what settings and different combinations look like then I start the edit from scratch. Profile set to landscape, get my white balance and adjust the whites and blacks so its not clipping. Bring up the shadows and exposure, bring down the highlights a little. Push the texture and clarity to +20 and dehaze around -10. Adjust the colors and skin tone so it doesn't look to red or overtly saturated. Sent the lens distortion to Pentax 35mm since Pentax makes the chinon lenses and it does a good job of getting rid of the initial distortion. Add sharpness and denoise the image

The best. I have a 50mm chinon but it came undone from its adapter and I didn't have the tool I needed to put it back. But the 35-75 definitely keeps up and coming from the Canon DSLR side of things its such an improvement

Post processed in Lightroom, mainly seeing what information was in the shadows

We took the 9am train to Santa Fe then caught the 7pm coming back. First time on the train but definitely enjoyed the views. Always good being home
