Bean Roaster

Coffee bean roaster at a favorite coffee shop, Dunn Bros. Nothing like a fresh hot cup of coffee to start the day.
Yesterday, Just Roaming The Cities requested to view the original photo of my Train Set "tonemapped" photo. UYour wish is my command. Below is the converted file from RAW to JPG.Although not a terrible photo in it's original state, but less dramatic.

A cup of coffee while listening to your Pink Martini song would be lovely!

YES! Thank you! I spent quite a few minutes looking back and forth between the two, scrolling up and scrolling down to see the little differences. In the end, I like the fixed-beautified version better; but mainly because the little details in the tree are brought out, and I like the way it made the train look aged, like it just came out of coal dust. I like the darker parts on the bottom that looked older and brighter where it was once dark. It did make the whites on the train look slightly dirty; and I can't seem to have an eye for this "halo" effect you speak of, where's that?

But again I thank you for putting that on there for me. It was very interesting! I don't yet have all the sophisticated camera equipment, just a little 7-magapixel. Maybe someday I'll get to do all the fun stuff! For now, I roam, I snap, I post!
Have a great day! I hope it warms up even more today :)

Thanks for sharing the before and after. I like the faux HDR, more dynamic!

Just roaming the cities, this is achievable with seven megapixels.
