Thun Castle illuminated, a photo from Bern, West

Photographer's Note

The imposing castle of Thun which is nicely lit up at night. This photo is from the Hotel Elite, which has one of the best views of the castle. The castle was built in 1178 on the top of a hill in the middle of the town.

I used Photoshop to select the sky and lighten it and remove noise from it, and I used a contrast mask and fill flash to lighten up other dark areas. Then I adjusted the color to decrease the red from artificial lights.
