The story of this photo

This is a 6-exposure HDR image from inside the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in Toronto, Canada. When I was there in July, I was exploring the city by foot. On that particular day it was like 35+ °C, and I was toast when I arrived at the location. But it turned out to be the perfect day for the visit as there were very few people there. So, photographing the place was relativly easy.

How it was shot

> Taken hand-held
> Six exposures (+2 to -3 EV)
> Camera: Nikon D7000
> Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED

How the HDR image was created and tonemapped

> CA reduction and white balance correction on all source exposures in Adobe Camera Raw [details]
> Saved the 3 images as TIFFs
> Created an additional +4 EV images from the original +2 EV source photo [details]
> Applied noise reduction (Topaz Denoise) to each of the source images [details]
> Resulting TIFF images were then used as input to Photomatix (Details Enhancer option)

How it was post-processed

> Post-processing was done in Photoshop
> Topaz Adjust for enhancing the colors and the lighting [details]
> Sharpening using the High-Pass method [details]
> Separate Levels and Saturation adjustment layers on the following areas:
> > The carpet (desaturating the ornaments)
> > The wooden floor
> > The white parts of the walls and the ceiling (desaturation)
> > The glass roof
> > The wood work in the pillars and the ceiling
> > The bronze/golden ornaments in the pillars
> Global Levels and Saturation layers for global fine-tuning
> Slight vignetting [details]
> Watermarking [details]
