I use it all the time in my landscapes; actually it's faux hdr. I take a photo that is exposed for the sky, then it Camera Raw I adjust the exposure to give me between three and five additional photos. I blend them together in PSE14. It gives me a realistic representation of the scene.

I decided to start using HDR when my brother sent me a beautiful postcard from Vietnam. I wondered why my photos didn't look that way (my sky was always blown out). Then it hit me: It's an HDR. The process is especially good when working with gray skies that have definition in the clouds.

Definitely the most ideal way to photograph a scene with a wide tonal range. Where HDR gets some static is when a user takes that the output of the blend and saturates the hell out of it. While some like that saturated look I find it falls more into art(an impression) rather than a photograph. Each to their own.

I played with HDR for a while and had some pretty good results. Then I got into using Tony Kuper's luminosity masking and believe the results to be better than HDR.

More and more I do. I use In-Camera to get multiple bracketed exposures but rarely use the resulting in camera HDR result. Try the Google Nik collection, its free and has worked well for a lot of what I've tried.

Of course! Some people claim HDR is dead in the form it was initially meant to be, but I totally disagree. Luckily we've survived the wave of overedited HDR images and now we get more professionals dealing with this genre of photography. Personally I use this photo editor https://aurorahdr.com for my pics.

OK OK Do what you like and I don't care if you like mine and I don't care to see yours.

This seems to be a contest on who gives up first. You win I had enough.

I don't know what to do now, I've never won before.

Where do discussion threads go when they die?
