is tone mapping on photoshop or done in the camera settings? I definitely can see more details (e.g. church roof window grills) on the "after" pic.

Tone Mapping is done with software (photomatix or photoshop). You need to have a camera that allows you to bracket the shots (multiple shots with different exposure settings). I use a tripod and the manual focus for these experiments. Have fun! www.hdrsoft.com/

nelson: nice shot!!!! great mapping!!! tone mapping is basically HDR (high dynamic range)!!!!! it is done by taking multiple shots and bringing out the true colors of the image!!!!!!

TIA If you're on manual and not sure if you want to over/under expose your shot, bracket it and just choose the exposure you like best later. Also, you can use bracketing for HDR purposes. Just make sure you use a tripod.

nice treatment sir nelson
yep its called HDR...
read a lot about it.. its exciting at first and it does make some photo very dramatic..
a lot of hobbyist are into it nowadays..
just dont overdo it, it tends to make picture less natural.. like when the subject looks like plasticwrapped.. thats over..

Adjusting levels in PS increases contrast. Increasing contrast on black areas or increasing contrast on white areas do nothing.
OTOH, tone mapping allows black areas and white areas to be replaced with data (gathered from the bracketed shots), thus reintroducing detail to the picture.

The "After" photo looks surrealistic. (Like everything has equal detail/depth/absorption&reflection of light). I dunno, sometimes the mind's eye sees things differently. I would still therefore prefer for the "Before" photo because it seems comfortable to look at for my mind's eye. (Like it's got the correct volume and "just-enough" varied detail). Just my opinion. This technique can be handy for specific applications/compositions, so not overdoing it is sound advice. Good job,sir! Meron talagang ibang mga mata na mabusisi.

The original shot is more comfortable to look at, I agree. The Tone Map/HDR exercise is only used to show how a shot can be made different using technology.
You don't want to do this on every shot, it doesn't look like photography anymore. ;D
