When we climbed up the great AppalachiansHer engines would be raging like hellThen we'd come back down to the rising townsWhere the cattle stare

In the frozen airFor me there nothing more sacredThan the beautiful sound she'd makeHer long blue signal blowin' deep in the night,

It would get to me there, It would get to me there

“The Rail Song” Adrian Belew

The Master Shot is a high-resolution raw composition shot with proper exposure, lighting, and contrast, preferably captured unfiltered, and unprocessed. The idea is to start with a high quality capture so you will be able to apply edits, crops, adjustments, filters, or special effects to this base image that you later re-edit, or recompose into a new creation.
