I figured he would have just told me instead of me looking it up.

I'm not a photographer I just think shit looks cool.

[Fernanernie]

no. it makes it look cheesy and fake.

theres a place for HDR if its well done. but the recent trend in over HDR'ing the fuck out of images is retarded.

I got flamed over at MNSC for saying the same thing. Yes it has a purpose, but it's like an amateur who takes black and white pictures of everything and adds color to 1 object in the picture. Has a place and time, but not every time. I still think overall it's a way for a bad photographer to get a "decent" photo since there is less skill required to get the uneducated to say "OMG SWEET PIX MANG!"

Nope. think more like this:



Edit: might as well link directly to the source, as he makes an impassioned plea for proper use of HDR and has a lot of good examples

Agree. I see HDR as bringing in detail to an image with a huge range of contrasts, particularly in landscapes. When done right, it really is just an extension of Ansel Adams zone mapping system.

A lot of people confuse HDR with just adding surreal effects and over-saturating the shit out of colors. I hate that crap.

To me, HDR should only be used to get your camera's sensor to see the same dynamic range as can be seen with the human eye. It's pretty much condemned for anything else on the photo forums.

A lot of the HDR pics in this thread, and ones I have seen elsewhere, look like complete fuck.
