[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 70606, member: 8344"] And, just to be clear, I [U]never said that[/U]! :) HDR is photography. As is any image that has Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture NX2 (which every Nikon owner should be using), Nik FX software etc applied to them. Photographs have been manipulated since the process was invented. Teeth have been added (kids missing teeth) to smiles for as long as I can remember, red eye removed, etc etc. I used to have a darkroom and I can't tell you how many times I dodged and burned an image to make it look right, applied heat with my hand during the developer process to get more development to an area etc. This made the photo different than the image on the negative. Digital is no different. The end result, what you print or post IS Photography. True, multi-image HDR is every bit photography as is a snap from a pin hole camera. Saying otherwise is simply silly. Whether or not you like it is another story and everyone is entitled to their opinion. [/QUOTE]
