Getting better at HDR

[everlast]

Looks awesome!

I have always found it funny that through photography you can make the world look much more beautiful than it really is.

I guess you haven't had one of those "omgosh is that really real?" moments in the world yet eh? I saw a sunset while driving down the Sea to Sky highway from Whistler to Vancouver last year that looks completely, 100% FAKE. It looked over the top saturated and completely "over exposed", and it was real.

I joked to my wife that Vincent van Gogh was guest starring as art director on the Truman Show.

Yeah, i live in Minnesota. There is nothing here but nothing.

Actually, sometimes on my way home from work the view of downtown Minneapolis is pretty awesome.

I agree, HDR is a fad that is finally starting to wear off. But don't get me wrong, its a great tool for improving a photo when used properly. But when HDR is the subject of the photo and the sky looks like its exploding, I just don't see the value in it.

I agree but it can also make a picture look so much richer even if it is a bit fake and that can (if used properly) really enhance a photo
