Ogden Point Breakwater Lighthouse - HDR

This picture was shot hand-held with three exposures (-2..0..+2EV). I used Photomatix to create the HDR with tonemapping and detail enhanced. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. Unsharp Mask.
This image is dedicated to Ireena and Brandon for being our light and beacon during our stay in Victoria B.C. I don't think this image really shows how awesome they are! But it's a start!
This is named after Peter Skene Ogden, 1794-1854, an official with the Hudson's Bay Co. The vision of Victoria as a major industrial centre and cargo terminal began early in the 20th century, as the city anticipated a massive increase in sea trade from deep-sea vessels using the Panama Canal, which was then under construction.
Preparations for the expected increase in shipping included building a 2,500-foot granite and concrete breakwater, which was completed in 1916. Work on The Ogden Point Breakwater included over one million tons of rock and ten thousand granite blocks. Two piers and a cargo warehouse were completed in 1918. Construction included fifty three concrete caissons and over one million cubic yards of dredged fill.
