HDR photography thread
#23
I prefer mild HDR, like this one
Others prefer a more cartoonish look in their HDR, like this
The problem with HDR is that people are using it to 'fix' poor photography skills. Images that lack proper framing, lighting and vehicle position are being used for HDR. Post processing can't fix a bad image.

Ran across this program today:
http://projects.ict.usc.edu/graphics/HDRShop/
there's also a tonemapping plugin that may be useful.
Normal setting on my camera phone:
HDR Shop using -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 images.
The difference isn't spectacular but you can see more detail in the buildings in the foreground. plus it is a CELL PHONE.

the issue is that the world has infinite dynamic range and your vision automatically adjusts. so when you look at the sky, it doesn't blind you and when you look at the shadowy foreground, it isn't pitch black.
there are tons of other situations where bright objects are in scene with dark ones (night shots of lights, reflections, etc) and a limited dynamic range camera can't produce high contrast both in bright scenes AND dark scenes.
