People like them because they look different, I hate them because they look preposterous. We get so used to seeing the regular, that anything irregular becomes great. I think HDR used that schtick as a crutch.
The view of the valley is great, but ruined by the foreground. To each their own…. This photo for example, has a severely minimalistic use of HDR. I like HDR because it pushes realism. I've attached an image of a local dealership which I felt was pretty boring until it use edited using HDR.
Please guys let me know your thoughts. I think a lot traditional photographers think HDR is somewhat cheating which doesn't make sense since the aesthetic is very different. Last Edit: 6 years 9 months ago by Lee-Underwood. Reason: photo isn't uploading. A "People" have exceedingly bad taste. The pop of the HDR "look" attracts attention. Until the next squirrel comes along. The question really comes down to, does it serve the image?
I see a lot of overprocessing that purports to make something out of nothing. A reliance on that type of processing is, for me, unsuccessful. If that is the look that someone wants, that's okay. The most interesting part of the image, for me, is the flags. I'm not sure the processing does anything to make the image more successful. HDR is not cheating. But it can be a hammer when what is needed is a detailing too l. For me. Photo Comments. Shoot, we "traditional" photographers cheat all the time, have been cheating since the dawn of time.
It's usually the novice photographers who get their back up about cheating. So you are wrong on that assumption. The "very different" aesthetic is the crux of the issue. That aesthetic brings us to the question of whether it is more attractive, or more evoking which are not the same thing.
Not everybody is going to agree on what is attractive. In my view your example is ugly, not attractive. On the evoking question, you can score some points. An image does not have to be attractive to evoke a feel or mood. I do get a post-modern feel from your image. So your image is a success, from that aspect. Just not a feel that I want, so my eye moves on to other images. Kelly Cook. Canon 50D, Olympus PL2 kellycook.

I think the point that gets overlooked when discussing HDR is that the concept is all about increasing dynamic range to overcome digital sensor limitations and approximate analog values. It usually isn't HDR processing that gets rejected, it's overprocessing. So, there's my 2 cents.
My sentiments exactly Scott Ditzel Photography www. Thanks guys. People who do not know about HDR is still impressed by the punch. Photographers who see it daily gets bored by it's over-use. In shared photo websites where you can create groups, when you open a group with just HDR, every photo screams for attention. I find the collective of HDR images on a page nauseating. Most of it makes me think of those special effect filters you used to get in film days, like the old Star Burst filter.
