Day 68 (March 8): wonderful day in Boston

Activity: fun bike ride with my friend Matt early, early in the morning. https://www.strava.com/activities/511576104

Photo: I was in Boston for an interview in the North End. The skating rink there has striking regularity in its architecture and the shadows and contrast looked great mid morning. 



Post processed in Capture One Pro. I did a slight (but not full) keystone correction, increased contrast,  and highlights, and then used a trick to bring down the cyan and blue in the B&W processing to give the sky some drama. A little bit of clarity brings out the interest and busy windows, and voila - architecture shot!

Thought for the day - it was great to see schoolchildren out playing on a nice spring day. It made me mad to think that my kids don't have outdoor recess in middle school and high school.
