The Whole "What is HDR" Debate

[COLTSFANATIC1]

Who cares what one thinks of is considered HDR...its all opinions and everyone has one. Not one person here can honestly say they are the last word in what is and not photography. IF the image has alot of range
and you can see it and its nice to look at why not just call it a nice photo/image? Once you put HDR in front of it to many opinions come in it just gets messy.

Just like HDR you have sepia, black and white, crossed processed...there are many many areas of photography that takes away from its natural look.. If you convert your colored image to black and white its not a
true black and white. Slapping some black and white filters in photoshop, silver effex does not make it a real black and white. Unless you shot the image in black and white film or in camera,... eeehh... its the same argument that
crimson1 has about photographs coming out of photomatix....its pointless and nothing is going to get solved in this thead. Just a lot of peoples take on the subject and the end most of us are believe what we want and won't change our minds on what is and what is not HDR.


I will label mine as HDR regardless of how tone mapped and digitally altered, cartoony one thinks and I could care less what anyone says it is or is not.....In reality the folks on here are just a handfull of people and opinions out there in the huge world so eeehhhh call me an A$$ but,,,, thats the facts.

perfectly said..
