- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I have hardly seen anything done in HDR that I've liked because it looks too overprocessed and too overdone to me. I find that I see the processing, not the photograph.
It does seem to get into being more like graphic design using a photographic image rather than being a photograph. Earlier on I remember seeing photos referred to as photo illustrations which seems to describe it better I think.
The 'Light and Stone' photo linked is one that I actually like and wouldn't have necessarily thought it was HDR. I think it's often the light - it sometimes just doesn't look real or believable in HDR images.

Uhhhh... Go look again. The human eye can see way more dynamic range than a camera... And yes... You absolutely can see the bright blue sky and a well lit interior. In total extremes... Like staring at the sun from in a cave? No. Otherwise... Yes.
And as far as hdr fading away... Folks said the same thing about color photography.
