ok guys i didnt mean for this to get out of hand i just wanted to see the different styles and i have the first process is different from the second

this is why i posted these photos i wanted to see the different styles

i personally like them both

I know, I like them too. I don't think some people like it, but there's honestly no real reason to say things like that. Unfortunately that's the way things go around here lol I used to come on here quite a bit, but there is a lot of "feuds" going, and a lot of negativity. Don't get me wrong- there's a lot of positivity as well, but I stopped posting here and started reading alot of info and continuing my classes instead. Opinion is opinion, but hate is pointless. Anyhow- I love the shot. Have a good one!!

Banderson- I feel you. There are so many things you can do with photography and its wrong for people to act in an insulting manner towards a fellow enthusiast. There are many things I do and do not like in photography. I can't stand macros of bugs,,but thats cause I am not a bug person and I think you have to be into them to do that style of photography. Here is where I differ. I do not go around that part of the forum and telling people there images suck or question someone who digs the the shots either. I sometimes look and keep moving on and don't reply. Same with other areas of photography, I look and move on. If I do like something I will let the person know and If I don't have to much to contribute than I leave it at that. I am not a know it all and know my level of expertise and sometimes its beyond what I know so hey I shut my mouth.

I try to respect everyones flavor of photography and I guess I am dumb for expecting that in return. I see to many people in the HDR forum trying to learn and get slammed by folks who don't like hdr or they only like HDR that is real and you can not tell it is...People are here to learn and just like you left because of the drama from these elitist who think there $hit don't stink is ridiculous is just not cool in my book.

I encourage you to keep on and do not let these folks make you drift away because then they win. Its just funny how many of these folks don't like HDR but will constantly frequent this section and give there two cents like it matters.

Food for thought. When Andy Warhol started out many people slammend him and did not consider his work as art. He was arrested in subways cause they said it was graffiti. Little did they know how big he would get. Now I am not a fan but, the point is that what he created was an art form in it's own. Same rules apply with HDR....it is an art form of photography in its own way..people need to get off there high horse and just except it and move on.

Cheers to you and hope you continue to stick around.
