So after listening to that podcast about digital color, I’m not so concerned (in fact, I can happily prefer) to use somewhat over-exposed images. It’s much easier to darken and add contrast than it is to safely reduce contrast. Unless you actually blur the picture and add more artificially gradated pixels, you cannot add color resolution to an image. So you can guess what this picture used to look like when I started.

Whatever a foundation bolt does out in the middle of a parking lot–this one does its job quite well.
