Providence decided to get an early jump on St. Patrick's Day this year by holding their annual 5K road race and St. Patrick's Day Parade a week early. I attended both and shot over 800 photos throughout the two events. This shot of a family of five participating in the race together just had to be the Photo a Day shot, though. After pushing that stroller and his 3 toddlers for 5000 meters, I think dad's earned a few extra mugs of green beer.
Post processing started with a photo pop filter in Topaz Adjust. I then adjusted adaptive exposure, regions, and contrast. A slight levels adjustment was added in PSE.
Since I don't have any of you on Facebook, this is the only way I could think of sharing this link. The above photo was taken during the St. Pat's Day 5K and the subsequent St. Patrick's Day Parade. (Yes, I know it's a week early, but that's Providence for you.) Anyway, the rest of the photos I took at the event may be viewed here: http://kannafoot.smugmug.com/Miscellaneous/St-Patricks-Day-Events
@ kannafoot I really enjoyed looking at the images of this event in Smugmug. I especially liked Killer Shoes, and your hilarious comment on it. You really are an expert in technique Ron, and the images tell a story of a great event.
