Most of it looks exactly the same. I'd rather just see a good pic taken with a good camera uneditted instead of photoshopping a bad pic to try and make it look better.

I tend to agree, because it tends to be over done. Most people just push it too hard. When it's done right the results end up being very much like you'd see in real life, because it's just expanding the dynamic range and detail.

A few years ago the fad was over sharpening. Now I'm seeing a lot of IR photography and HDR.

Yeah, the one you posted of NYC was good. Very subtle changes to make it pop. Didn't have the artsy drawing feel too it.

Are you, by chance, related to a guy in the Air Force who currently lives in Hawaii?




I think only Tracy will know why I'd say that.. you literally sound exactly like his best friend. If I didn't have it on good authority that you are in fact a different person, I'd start to wonder.

not to my knowledge, although hawaii might be nice right now, home prices kinda suck though...

Do I want to know who this person is?

Not sure... either you would get along famously, or you would want to kill each other. Being as he's not much for forums, I'd say probably not.

Thats how HDR should look. Super realistic. Everything exposed properly. Not like a cartoon.

I'd probably vote kill each other by some elaborate plot that takes weeks to plan and even longer to unfold.
