Thanks Dennis. You should go again.

 

 I would like too, but it is pretty far from here. Post more if you have them. About what time frame (year) where these taken?

Thanks Richard.

 

Dennis I go to Malta regularly. Born there and came to Australia when I was 7 years old.

 

It is always between June, July & August : the Summer months same as the US.

Hi again DCB.

This image was originally shot in 2009. Details as best that I can remember (however use the undermentioned "technique" often)

1 Shot as a RAW file of 12 MB
2 Adjusted in Camera RAW
3 Converted to PS and tweaked Contrast & Colour Balance
4 Converted to a HDR image and adjusted contrast again.
5 Saved as a HDR file and converted to B&W via Channel Mixer in PS
6 Adjusted Noise & Sharpening.

I might add that the adjustments made are different to each image and do not always work out. The thing to keep in mind is to obviously keep the original file.
I am aware bthat this is a long winded way, but on most occassions it works for me.
Dennis has been kind enough to request more, to which I will happily respond.

Just one question, where these shot as an HDR, or a single HDR?
