Dishwasher fail on T-Day. 5 hours of plumbing groping and...it works! Filter plugged by a small piece of plastic (off milk jug) and 10 years of gunk.

My computer is wimpy so I shoot jpeg rather than raw. So the camera already does some color adjustments in the output. But sometimes it is fun just to play with a pic to see what comes out.

Exactly! I had to get a new computer to accommodate the programs I wanted to use. I bought the stand alone version of Light room so I could shoot raw. Honestly I don't see much difference in shooting raw for most pics. I use a free program called GIMP that I got of the net for free. Much like photoshop but free!
That is what I used to saturate your train pic.I see a bigger difference in my images shooting full manual over auto than I do shooting in raw vs jpeg. If it's a detailed landscape pic, then maybe raw is better. But once I edit the pics, I don't one person has ever been able to tell the difference between raw and jpeg, including me!
I just like playing with the camera on full manual trying to capture images I cannot with full auto. These were taken raw so I do see a difference had I taken them in jpeg. But I am just a guy messing with a camera and not a photographer. A real photographer may be able to see the difference but I can't.
These were at night in Laughlin, set at about 3 or 4 seconds shutter speed.

Heck, Skyline Drive was 115 miles hotel to hotel with 10,000'+ climbing......that was day one and was really tough but got us off to a terrific start.
I've done the section past Grandfather Mountain, the viaduct and down into Blowing Rock. I was going to ride from the US Capital to my home in suburban Atlanta back in 2005 but life got in the way.

Nice beautiful day and ride with the wife. She did very well, a 16.4 average speed over 32 miles on a breezy day. Not bad for a 56 year old chick!
