Duh! i just woke up & guess what its already 1130am here!!!!! Half my day is gone & now i've a lot to catch up! Its Sunday morning here even tho i believe its still Saturday at the other side of the world. Australia has to be the second fastest country in term of timing.. I believe New Zealand is the fastest of them all. Anyway as usual, a holy churchy shot from me... just the right timing to atone for my boldness & rudeness in my yesterday's 16 tagged items. My apologies if too much information was given out.. in fact it has went through my own censorship board & tone down heaps before it went on air.. imagine reading the original copy, all of you might laugh so bad that u might just shit in your pants LMAO! honestly no kiddin' :P...someone has accidentally peed in his undies yesterday with my 16 tagged items... so i owe him a new pair now LOL! u know who u r.. someone from the fastest timing country in the world :P Back to reality now.. .have a great weekend!

View LARGE On Black to feel organic lol!

The Shot

Standard 3 exposure shot (+2..0..-2 EV) with tripod using Sigma DC HSM 10-20mm lens

Photomatix

- Tonemapped generated HDR using detail enhancer option

Photoshop

- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'curves' to increase the contrast

- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'saturation' (master) to decrease overall tone

- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'saturation' (yellows) to decrease the lightness of stone wall

- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'saturation' (reds) to adjust the tone of the ceiling

- Applied digital blending of another tonemapped hdr to correct the overblown spotlights

- Used 'unsharp mask' (as always) on the background layer
