Before and After: Coxey Building Ruins at Ariel-Foundation Park

When visiting Ariel-Foundation Park in Mount Vernon, Ohio, there can be found are the ruins of the old industries that stood on the site. One of those is the Coxey Building Ruins which is open to the outdoors and is a perfect place for taking pictures like senior portraits. The ruins are also great for some good old vintage photo editing as I show with this shot edited in ON1 Photo Raw.

Before and After: Ruins among the Flowers

One of the beautiful things about Ariel-Foundation Park is the old ruins that you can explore. This ruins are great for portrait backgrounds and finding some textures to use in your photo editing.

Editing:
Using ON1 Photo Raw 2019, I did some fine tuning in the Develop panel. Increase contrast, open up the whites and increase the vibrance. Under Effects panel, I used the Tone Enhancer to make the blue sky pop by slightly lowering the exposure, increase contrast a little more, and open the whites a little more as well. Then finish it off with a vignette. That was pretty simply!

Before and After: April 13, 2019

Photographed during a simple walk through the local city park. A simple like nature shot along the lake.

Editing:
Once again, use ON1 Photo Raw 2019, I started with a simple LUTs called Vintage Matte. Then I applied a Tone Enhancer filter to increase the contrast and a Photo Filter to add warmth to the photo. A Color Enhancer filter was applied to give the photo more of a fall feel. Next comes a postcard texture and a Lens Blur filter. Finish off with a vignette and a emulsion border.

Spring is Finally Here!

Spring is finally here and yesterday I went out on my first walk in the park. The Ariel-Foundation Park is not pretty right now but wait for the weather to get warmer and the spring showers to bring life back to the park.

Also, this is the first time I got out my Canon 5D Mark III this year and shot any photos with it. I am not one to get out during the winter months, I hate the cold weather. But here is the first new photo of the year and edited only using ON1 Photo Raw.

Before and After: Rastin Tower

A shot from last summer of the Rastin Observation Tower in Ariel-Foundation Park in Mount Vernon, Ohio. The tower was once a smoke stack that was part of an old glass factory. The factory was torn down when the land it sat on became part of the park. But the smoke stack was kept and converted into a observation tower.

Before and After: Beams Sculpture

One of the interesting things you will find in Ariel-Foundation Park are these sculptures made from steel beams and painted red. These red beams sculptures can be found around parts of the park and at the various entrances to the park. This particular sculpture can be found on the southwest end of the park on top of a hill over looking the southern lake. There are benches to sit and enjoy the view of the city park especially on a nice summer day.
