Not completely true. I consider myself pretty into photography and a properly done HDR is something to truly enjoy. The problem is most know of this CGI Tone Mapped Garbage as "HDR".

I agree. And sean klingelhoeffer (sp??) uses HDR techniques very well as do some others.

I mean tone mapped stuff shown here.

People overlook things. Photography is art to me. If a tone mapped picture makes the image what the artist wanted then what's wrong with that? This is an over saturated, tone mapped, HDR image. However, it was the only way I could capture what I felt when I was at this location. But I am an amateur photographer for art, not for pure images. I respect people that only work with images. Heck, I've only done about 10 HDR's in the 10 years I have been into digital photography. Either way, to each their own :)

Here is one without crazy tone mapping. Not the best of photos, but its subtle and HDR non the less.

some non auto related ones....





what i think about photography is that it takes place where there are no set rules to strictly follow. expressing freely in any desired manner. sometimes you do this and other times you do that. after all, thats basically what art is right?
i mean i know plenty of pros who tone-map the shit out of their hdrs and they look legit and i also know others who stick to the realistic way and succeed greatly.
i just think you can see things in a different way with the whole tone-mapping thing.

^ you have to tone map an already interesting photo to have any potential.

Tone mapping snap shots is just... its still a snapshot.

Very nicely done! I like.
Hope you don't mind If I use the 2nd one as a desktop background?

This is great. If you're HDRing it'd be nice to get a little detail into the pass. side of the car though.


All the other shit in here is downright awful.
