Providence, Rhode Island

I knew I wouldn't be able to get out at lunch thanks to a lengthy meeting at IBM today, so I stopped at India Point Park on my way into work. I was hoping there would be some bikers or runners out and about, but I was the only one there. I had to settle for this shot of the old rusted tug at the far end of the point. It's been a while since I used my long lenses, so for this photo I used my 200mm with the 2x Teleconverter. Thank God for Image Stabilization so I was able to hand-hold the camera for this photo.

Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

Here's the high res version in Smugmug: http://kannafoot.smugmug.com/Photo-Challenges/PAD2014/i-BWm5ZgK/0/XL/2014%2004%2003_0004%20copy-XL.jpg

@lilminimonka Thanks, Brianna! I'm not sure why, but I really like photographing anything old in a state of decay.
