Location
Cambridge, Massachusetts has a lot of by-ways and back alleys. This is one I pass a few times a week.Time
The shot was taken in mid-morning, as I recallLighting

I use Photoscape (a rarely mentioned, free app on the PC. It has lots of great features) and Color Efex Pro, for me an essential applicationIn my camera bag
One of my bridge cameras, Panasonic or Canon, and the smartphoneFeedback
