Initially I created 10 HDR photos in Photomatix. I used Captain's Kimo preset to ensure that all of them will have the same values.
Then I merged these HDR to Photoshop and finally I applied Topaz Adjust Mild color Pop.
Manfrotto 322RC2 is not appropriate for panorama, but it isthe only one that I have. So I had to unscrew the head and take the photos screwing it back οn the horizontal plane. It was very tricky, but I had to try.

Single RAW image. First create 3 jpg's (-2,0,+2) and tonemapped them with photomatix. Then I create another HDR with photoshop process. I worked on both of them in PS with layers and masks. When I was happy with my final image I applied Sharpen Detail action by Captain Kimo

Chrysocheria castle - Kalymnos island - 30/01/2010

Scenic Sunday

The Castle of Chrysocheria in Kalymnos: The castle of Chrysocheria lies on top of a hill that overlooks Chorio village, the ancient capital of Kalymnos. It is close to the cave of the Seven Virgins and was built by the Knights of the Order of St John, who ruled the island from the 14th to the 16th century. The objective of this construction was to fortify the city and protect it from possible conquerors and the invasions of pirates. This castle was inhabited until the 18th century.

Today, its interior still hosts the well-preserved church of Panagia Crysochera, which gives its name to the castle. This name means “our Lady with the golden hands”. The church was named after this because of the icon of Virgin Mary, in the interior of the church, which depicts Virgin Mary having hands covered with a golden leaf. A legend also says that a treasure of golden coins was once found under the floor of this church.

Furthermore, the church of Panagia Chrysochera also hosts some nice Byzantine frescoes. Apart from this church, we can find some other chapels within the castle, dedicated to other saints. On the west side of Chrysocheria castle, there are some ruined fortification walls and a coat of arms that belonged to a Genoan nobleman called Viniali. There are also the ruins of an ancient temple that used to lie in this area, the temple of the Twins.

Skywatch Friday - Kalymnos island - 28/01/2010

Skywatch Friday

Kalymnos, (Greek: Κάλυμνος) is a Greek island and municipality in the southeastern Aegean Sea. It belongs to the Dodecanese and is located to the west of the peninsula of Bodrum (the ancient Halicarnassos), between the islands of Kos (south, at a distance of 12 km) and Leros (north, at a distance of less than 2 km): the latter is linked to it through a series of islets. Kalymnos lies between two to five hours away by sea from Rhodes. The island is known as Càlino in Italian and Kilimli or Kelemez in Turkish.

In 2001 the island had a population of 16,235, making it the third most populous island of the Dodecanese, after Kos and Rhodes. It is known in Greece for the affluence of much of its population, and also stands both the wealthiest member of the Dodecanese and one of the wealthiest Greek islands overall.
