I don't really like HDR stuff, it looks wrong to me. Audio people complain about much the same thing: the over-use of compression, which lets you hear everything, even in the car, but is tiring on the ear.
I wonder how much is just because we got used to how film renders light... pictures like these two http://www.photosight.org/photo.php?photoid=46433&ref=author&refid=999 http://www.photosight.org/photo.php?photoid=41626&ref=author&refid=999 would not have surprised painters living before photography any more than photography did. Most examples now over-use it for effect, but I can imagine that milder versions will creep in slowly, as one more tool for better contrast control in colour. With slides you had none, scanning print film some, raw-processing more, this is the next step. Michael On 15/11/06, Jeff Post <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I actually like it.
