This was taken on a Monash photography club outing to the Rialto Towers in Melbourne. The view was awesome, and so far this is the first photo i've edited. Hoping its also the best :)
Reflections were a biatch, so lots of cloning to get rid of those. also, some buildings were just distractingly bright, so also had to clone those.
Biggest learning was how crappy RAW Sharpening is. The lights looked all weird first time after raw conversion. dropped sharpening from 25 to 0, and the looked just fine
PP quite extensive
- RAW conversion with flattest image. slight wb change
- HDR conversion w/tonemapping by photomatix
- NN
- usual levels, curves, minimal HSL
- spot curves on river and big building on right, and train station on left
- lots of spot editing as described
- NoiseNinja again specifically in areas with crazy pixelation due to HDR
- dpcresize+sharpen

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three four now and I'm running late, sorry.
