It really was a miserable day when I dropped into the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway at Woody Bay as can be seen from the sky (it started raining just as I left). The conditions and subject matter lent themselves well to mono and some have already been posted in the B&W section but so photogenic is this lovely little railway that colour also seems to work.
Even single shots of this type I generally start my processing in Aurora HDR 2019 as the presets available give me the kind of drama I look for. 2019 is far superior to 2018 but I can't say I like Luminar 3 - especially the appalling and massively disappointing database which means I still use LR for cataloguing, final polishing and exporting.
Some wagons:
