Comments on: Hating On HDR http://www.cornellfinch.com/2007/08/15/hating-on-hdr/ Why stop now, just when I'm hating it?

Hdr is one of those techniques that is a novelty but those who know how to use this technique properly and where it is necessary will create some great shots. I agree that some photographers use hdr to try and make there cruddy photo's passable in the eyes of an untrained viewer. Hrd is just another technique in the sea of techniques available to create a great shot.

Secondly - yes I totally agree. I see too many over-HDR'ed photos throughout the Internet and it just seems to me, as you've said, that many people are doing it "just because". And to clarify what Jim said as well, "to make a decent-looking photo out of an otherwise crap one", basically. And by "decent-looking", I mean decent looking photos to the photo-looking population that actually think over-HDR'ed photos "look good" - what are they thinking? When its used properly and in small doses, it can be a great effect, however. First off thanks for the mention. Secondly – yes I totally agree.
