2005 Canoeing Summer Venture - Western Carolina University
Dyer Street Landing14 January 2013 -- 14/365Providence, Rhode IslandThere is a small community dock on Dyer Street, just south of Water Street, along the Providence River.  This upturned canoe made a decent foreground subject for this shot of the Water Street bridge with the Providence County Courthouse in the background.  This dock is a popular launch point for kayakers and canoeists, both of which frequent the river in the summer months.  Despite today's unseasonable temperatures - it hit 60 degrees today - there were no boaters to be seen on the river.Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX.  I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, and then adjusted adaptive exposure, contrast, regions, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights.  A levels adjustment followed by a brightness and contrast adjustment was made in PSE.  A sepia photo filter topped the layers.
