So after my last posting of using color grading and applying it to photos there was a big issue about it.
I thought I would take the time to show a true HDR image. This is not tonemapped or I did not use photomatix or any other hdr software. This is three exposures that have been manually blended in photoshop with some masking to get all the range in the photo. By doing this process I have been able to make a photo realistic true HDR image. I have not altered any colors.
Keep in mind I enjoy many areas of HDR and processing, I don't look through only one door. I like to experiment with filters and colors and I love to process the heck out of an image. I do what I enjoy doing!

The reason I post this image is because based off what one individual said in a prior discussion this would only be the type of photo worthy of posting in this section, since it has not been tonemapped or processed to the point where it makes it "BAD".
Manually blending your own exposures takes way more time than using software to do it for you. The outcome is different as you can see here this photo actually looks like a photo and not a tonemapeed typical HDR photo that we see. By no means am I knocking those because I love them but, once my understanding of HDR was in question I thought what better way to answer with an actual image to show my understanding of HDR.
Cheers
