I just read on the walmart web site that combining a polarizing filte, a UV filter, and a close-up filter will create an HDR effect on the photo taken is this correct?...Julian

I was in a parking garage at night and out of the shadows came a voice saying, "buy GameStop, power to the players."

Absolutely not. First, you will not be able to focus at a distance, a UV filter does nothing, and a polarizing filter, at best, will reduce non-specular reflections.

Try it, and you will know for sure. Strange things can happen. Let us know your results.

As has already been stated you should try it yourself. HDR from a simple image is not that easy to achieve but as Bill-de told you "strange things can happen."

Reading your headline, do you know what HDR stands for or how to create a HDR? HDR stands for High Dynamic Range imaging. HDR, as its name implies, is a method that aims to add more “dynamic range” to photographs—where dynamic range is the ratio of light to dark in a photograph. Instead of just taking one photo, HDR actually uses three or more photos, taken at different exposures. Using software to combine these photos can make a better photo. Low light & backlit scenes, Landscapes & Portraits in sunlight are a few examples of when to use HDR. HDR can actually make your pictures look worse. Photos with movement and Very high contrast scenes are a couple of examples.

just re-read the original post. i use closeup filters; if i used the combination you describe i might get an HDR of a closeup photo. I would not get an HDR of a landscape or portrait or any other "normal" (i.e. non-closeup) subject because of the closeup filter. Depending on the closeup filter you need to me within micro-inches of your subject.

Julian, could you share the link to this "amazing" article? I'm sure we'd all find it rather amusing.

But you knowing doesn't help the OP, or anybody else that might be curious.

Learning by doing is usually better than learning by listening to somebody, or reading about here .

The result is in my post.
The result is also in the opening post.
No need to autopsy it.

OTOH you promote learn-by-doing. In that way you say the question need not have been posted. I can agree with that. I can agree with Newfie too.
