I shoot RAW/Jpeg when I do digital and these two images are both untouched JPEGs. Like the slides I've been taking since Ektachrome's resurrection, they are SOOC. One is a long abandoned freight car. The other was sitting on a siding and I assume is still functional, but how much it is still used and for what, I don't know. These were taken with my D7100 and the 18-140mm lens. The first was at 50 mm, f/11 at 1/100 with a -1.7 exposure compensation. The second was at 85mm, f/13 and 1/640 with the same exposure compensation. I will eventually get around to working with the raw files but I put these up for speed and also because there's something about SOOC that I like.

I enjoyed looking at both images.
With the second one, I like the built in ribs on the car ends, in case of a load shifting.

The 18-140 is my general walk around lens. It’s sharp, fast enough, has VR and auto focus, and an all around usable range from medium wide angle (27mm FF equivalence) to moderately long telephoto ((210 FF equivalence). I’m pretty sure it will auto focus on your 3300.
