Santorini island in Greece is said to have one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. Is it so? Decide for yourself 😀
Taken in Imerovigli, Santorini, Greece.
Santorini was such an incredible island for photography. The much talked about 'blues' in the sea and the sky really need to be seen to be believed, the contrast is immense.
I might make them an offer on this place when I win the lotto.
Thanks for looking.

The Catholic Cathedral in Fira in Santorini.
This is an HDR of three RAWs shot handheld at ISO 1600. I experimented with the processing tips from farbspiel-photo.com. I did the following:
1) Full noise reduction in Imagenomic Noiseware, creating 3 separate TIFs.
2) Blend in Photomatix, creating both an Exposure Fusion and a Details Enhancer version.
3) Load both versions in PS and superimpose them to subdue the funky look of the benches.
4) Smart sharpen.
5) Selective processing of individual parts of the photo using curves: trips on the wallks saints, stautue, painting on the right, windows, ceiling, lamp, floor, columns.
I see how this works now so next time I can do it better. It was fun to try it out. For example, the paintings of the saints were subdued and barely visible even in the HDR. The selective curves really brings them to life.
