Sunset at Crystal Beach Pier

Crystal Beach is off the beaten path. It’s not all that large. It’s not a big beach, but has a small community park where each evening, crowds gather to watch — what else — the sun go down.

This particular evening we had had a great time enjoying southern BBQ at Ozona Pig where we listened to a band playing classic rock oldies and then watched an amazing sunset at Crystal Beach.

The Marketplace at Night

The Marketplace in downtown Springfield, Ohio is a dramatic, historical building. The often-photographed clock tower is a well-known landmark.

This photograph was made from the balcony of a nearby hotel. Post-processing was tricky as there are strong light and dark areas. The initial pass was through Aurora HDR which brightened the colors and provided greater contrast. The next pass was through Alien Skin’s Exposure X3 which handled the black and white conversion. Final touchup consisted of some dodging and burning in Photoshop CC.

Prints are available here.
