I just got this article in my email this morning. Might be a good read.

Great article.
I agree with all of them, except maybe myth #21. With that one, at least for me, I have never been able to get satisfying results from moving objects in 3 exposures. I'd love to learn from someone that knows how to do it well. Maybe it's just that I don't have the post processing patience to do the masking necessary.
If someone knows of a good tutorial on this, I'd love to be able to agree with #21.

I don't know why so many posts or articles about HDR state ' fake photos '. They are not FAKE, they are great photos with processing to enhance portions of the photo.

I like HDR photos that are minimal to slightly less than optimal. Overdoing it hurts the photo to me.

As far as I'm concerned, HDR is just bringing out the tones that the eye sees, but that the camera sensor can't quite capture. Nothing fake about it unless you're going for the exaggerated effect.

Good thought. It's just some times they ( author ) goes overboard and borders on the abstract. LOL

Try using Oloneo, it has 2 methods of ghost reduction. I have shots of the Golden Gate Bridge which I had processed in Photoshop and Photomatix.
they both had smudged vehicles. Oloneo seemed to just choose one of the images for the vehicles and there was no blurring of the vehicles.

Thank you both for the links. I am in complete agreement with the answer to Myth #4. :thumbup:
