Barrington, Rhode Island
Looking for a change in scenery, I headed to Haines Park in Barrington for today's photo. There are usually a few walkers, cyclists, and fishermen in the park, so I was hoping to continue my street photography series. As it turns out, there was just this gentleman walking his reluctant Boston Terrier. I say reluctant because it was clear the pup wanted to be anyplace but there. The look on his face is priceless, and that leads us to the caption of today's photo.
There are four Division One college hockey teams in Boston: Boston College, Boston University, Harvard, and Northeastern. Every year, they meet at the TD Bank Garden for a tournament known as the Beanpot. The rivalries are intense, and winning the Beanpot is as important to these teams as the entire rest of the season. This past Monday the first game in the semi-finals was played between the Northeastern Huskies and the Boston University Terriers. The Huskies won, 3-2. As you can see in today's photo, this Terrier is clearly not pleased with the results.
Post processing today started with a standard greyscale conversion in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, followed by adaptive exposure, regions, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights. I adjusted brightness and contrast in PSE and topped it off with a sepia photo filter.
