Ok, pick this apart.
The situation: You're biking in Vancouver BC, the sun is setting in dramatic fashion, perhaps about 5 minutes past its prime, and you cross a bridge over train tracks that allows you a view of downtown. You have a Fuji X-T1, the kit zoom, and the 35 f1.4 lens. As you begin to set up and take a few shots, you see that a train is coming. Also, you have a wife and a 4 yr old whose bedtime has already come due, so you don't get to futz around on this all night, Ansel Adams. Bingo bango, knock something out and let's get that kid to bed... we're still several miles from home.
What I did: I know I dropped the EV immediately and used the EVF to see the effect until I got what I thought was about the right look for the sky. In this picture's case, it was at -2. I also had my Velvia preset on, and auto WB. Looks like I zoomed it in to 42.5 to frame things this way, so I had a lot more width on tap if I'd wanted it, and a little more length as well on the 18-55. I did not override the shutter speed, knowing that in Auto it would select something around 1/30 and give me some blur on the train (cool) and a decently low ISO (very cool). I don't believe I edited this jpg in any way. If I touched it, it was MINIMAL. More or less SOOC.
