WARNING! Tonemapped (Overcooked) HDRs

[Ballistics]

Note: If you don't like overcooked HDRs, this isn't the thread for you. You can hang out and even comment,
but if you complain about the image being overcooked after being told it's overcooked, I'm going to point you to this disclaimer.

I personally like tonemapped (over overcooked) HDRs. I like the surrealness, and the fact it looks like a video game.


Now, I did this exact image almost exactly a year ago, and it was boring. So I redid it, and overcooked it and
I think it looks pretty cool. I've only done 2 HDRs ever, and this is a re-edit of the first one.



So for those out there who also appreciate Overcooked HDRs, share them here!

Nice I like it. Would try one of my old pictures to do an overlooked editing like yours

I like it, overcooked or burned to a crisp, I still like it. How many frames did it take?

Eight years ago, I went out to get some groceries while some images were batch-processing, and the oven timer broke while I was gone.

So overcooked it needed a band-aid.

Very cool cooking job!

That's crazy looking! That's from film?

Do it!

I know-it IS crazy-looking. No, it's a Nikon digital SLR file. This was at maximum boost for the era. I believe this is either a Nikon D1h or D70 and 300/2.8 AFS file. I had both cameras that day.

I'm confused, what's with the comment about the oven timer?

I like them both. What looks cool simply looks cool to me.

Broken oven timer allowed for overcooked image.

I have nothing against overcooked HDR's. I really enjoyed both of these examples, it's refreshing to see editing like this that is not very commonplace.
