I think I messed with this one a bit in Aperture but in the end I removed all the adjustments. What I captured in this shot was certainly not what you would see with your eyes as it was much more dimly lit and mysterious. But, the place had a very warm feel to it and I think this shot captures that. This is closer to what you'd see once your eyes adapt to darkness, the details just start to come out. I really only wanted to show the fantastic murals and this was the best way to go. I felt I didn't want to tweak it any further and just left it how the camera saw it.
It was the one shot that jumped off the proof sheet for the editor. He said, "That's a tough shot to get." I wasn't, but I was glad he liked it all the same ;-] -Brendan --- "P. J.
