Ray, great stuff as usual. Your travels around the world are giving me the travel bug again. I will need to make it happen!
As for my processing, 3tu3ni, I documented my process on a post on page 10, I believe...basically, I use LR3, apply one of the "look" filters (#3 is my fav), adjust the histogram to get a slightly underexposed image, do a bit of selective dodge and burn, and selective clarity brush, then use split toning (highlights using yellow tint, at 15-20% saturation, shadows with blue tint at 5-10% saturation. Then I add some grain to my liking (approx amount 40, size 10-15, roughness of 30). Add a bit of highlight priority vignetting, and I am done.
Best,
Ashwin
