Ummm.... Well, you're in Toronto, so I would imagine somewhere around there... looks a bit like some parts of Waterloo campus...
That seems a tad banal though, so I'll take a wild guess you were in Geneva, and went to CERN.

Very nifty. |
Yeah, I'd been thinking along those same lines. So, now that I got the initial tests done to get an idea of what to expect, I can get more into it.
For this one, I picked a more interesting setting, used orange gels on the lights, let some of the bare LED peek through holes in the gels to get some blue from particular angles, and pre-planned a 'mark' for the self-portrait interaction (no assistant or model available). I set up two speed lights - one is serving as a main positioned between the two trees on the right side of the composition to light me and help with the illusion that the plasma ball's doing it, and the other is to the left of the camera to act as fill for the scene, lighting up the tree bark detail.
Technicals were ISO 100, 176 seconds @ f/3.5 with 10-22mm lens @ 10mm.
Result:
Gettin' there...

Yeah you're right. That is a photo from inside the Davis Centre Building.
The building was designed to look like a motherboard if you looked down on it from the sky. The designer was by the same person that designed Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto. |

Very nice Peter.
I bought a few of Topaz's products (Adjust, Simplify, DeNoise, ReMask 2) over this past year and really like them too. Adjust and ReMask 2 have especially impressed me. I'm guessing Simplify is what you used for this one? ETA - n/m - Duh, you said it right in your post.
