[QUOTE="KWJams, post: 26644, member: 1926"] Thanks for all the replies -- and yes it has me thinking a lot about the process. I think it was an article in the current issue of Outdoor Photographer where an old film shooter writes about being bitten by the DSLR bug and he commented on how HDR has had contrary affects to one of his old film photos that he has been selling where folks mistake it for HDR regardless of the fact that it was taken years ago before HDR was ever imagined. He said that if a photo has been post processed to the point where it becomes un-natural looking or alien then maybe the trend has gone too far. But I think that maybe some primitive painter felt the same way when his fellow tribesmen started painting on animal skins. :) Another observation I made is that when powder coating metal first came out and folks were powder coating everything before they learned that some things like sheet metal does not accept powder coating without orange peeling. Some things are made for HDR and some things like my first picture above is not. My opinion is that if something would look great in B&W with a lot of details and contrast, then HDR will work. I took a bunch of shots today with the exposure stretched out a little more and need to get to work on them and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
