I have a pair of all-day meetings today and tomorrow, so I stopped in downcity Providence for a photo before work. We had some rain overnight which left a nice deep brown pattern on the boardwalk. The sun had just crested the hills on the East Side, filling the taller buildings downcity with a nice warm tone. I originally planned to do this as a black and white, but after seeing the colors I opted to stay with the original shot.
Post processing started with a brilliant warm filter in Topaz Adjust. I then adjusted the adaptive exposure, contrast, protect highlights, and adaptive saturation sliders. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.
Great view of the city and the colors are simply fitting for today's shot, Ron! This boardwalk is so familiar...Flea had given me a copy of one of his shots from here. Miss you all, guys!
