Sunset at the train station

I wanted to share this photo because It’s a beautiful scene, and I want to see how good it can be made to look! (it was beautiful in real life, perhaps average photo)

Taken with a Takumar 135mm f3.5 I got for 10 pounds from a vintage shop. It has a magenta cast but is otherwise amazing.

Processed with my work in progress raw converter, saturation factor of 1.55 (BIG), WB 2900K and LOADS OF GREEN TINT:

There is no shadows and highlights style adjustment yet, so I can’t control the image all that much.

And, just for fun, the same exact processing (same curves and saturation factor) but operating on RGB channels:

Super fun!

I had a couple of tries at this photograph. In the end I blended three exposure adjustments from Filmulator (+2.00, 0.00, -0.833) using enfuse and then very slight adjustments in GIMP with luminosity masks.
