Well, that’s what this is, isn’t it.  A postcard-type photo of the concert hall.  Plus it is an example of one type of single image HDR-ish processing, which I promised yesterday.  This image was created from a single RAW capture with the Olympus E-PL1 camera.  You can see the distinctive 4:3 ratio of width to height, which gives its name to the Micro Four-Thirds line of cameras, which feature a small “micro” sensor with a 4:3 ratio “four-thirds”.  My understanding is that the Micro Four-thirds cameras have a sensor half the size of a piece of film, so the effective focal length for lenses used on these cameras is doubled.  For example, the pancake lens I often use (although not on this shot) is 20mm, bit it acts like a 40mm lens on the E-PL1.

I took the RAW image, opened it in Aperture, and made basic adjustments using Curves, and added some Vibrance and a touch of saturation, because the RAW image was a bit flat.  I then added the first bit of preudo-HDR using the Highlights and Shadows adjustments in Aperture.  The former darkens the blown out highlights in a RAW image, and the latter brightens the darkest areas.  If this were a true tonemapped HDR image, I would have used Photomatix of Enfuse/Bracketeer to automatically mix different exposures to do the same job, and would have been able to fully remove the glare that still exists in this image on parts of the front of the building facing the morning sun.  After making those manual adjustments, I pulled the image into Topaz Adjust which is a powerful plugin for Photoshop and indirectly for Aperture, that adds additional HDR touches.
