[elsaspet]

I'm seeing this A LOT! And I have to say, I'm a fan of it. I've tried it several times for envoirnmental portraiture, but I always get red skin tones. Can anyone talk use through a tutorial?
Thanks!

I think we need a new board here for HDR! That way people don't keeps asking someone "is that HDR?"

I'm going to try it out myself this weekend! I would love to see a tutorial as well.

I was just wondering the other day how this would look. I will have to search for some examples.

seen it, and don't like it at all ... but I guess this is just me being anti-trendy
.

Not a great fan of HDR anyway, just like I do not like too sweet candy.

Depends on what the subject is but I love most HDR photo's I see especially when it involves the sky.

HDR is awesome for the sky. I've been seeing life in HDR lately but haven't tried it out yet. Computers barebones for programs since I reformatted and havent reinstalled everything.

I vote for a HDR thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbup:

I like many instances of HDR images, but I'm not a fan of the over-processed, surreal looking ones that I see. The edges all look they've been hit with a high radius, high strength unsharp mask filter. I like things a bit more subtle I think!

When did this become a "new trend"? I have played around with doing that with images for years because here in MD, we have some sucky skies for quite a bit of the year (hazy, white skies) but I guess it's a new way to do it in PS instead of just using layers and combining elements from each exposure?... I don't do it often because it can be a PITA trying to do it to a lot of images, but that's weird... I looked at this thread and went what the heck is HDR? and then realized what you were talking about.
