A Fantastic Drive Into Boston


A Fantastic Drive Into Boston

I call this a fantastic drive not because it was a beautiful day (although it was) but because this image has been digitally edited. I cropped this image out of a photo I took this morning with my phonecam as we drove towards Boston. Tonight I cropped the image to get the composition I wanted, but the buildings were all reading as gray, gray, gray. So I decided to open the image in Painter IX and add a litle color with digital pastel. Now the image is less realistic, but it does a better job of communicating how exciting it was to see Boston in the bright morning sun.
