^^ you are being more emotional and logical. HDR i believe is a pretty creative concept and it requires skill and technique to create such photos. lets not forget that photography is not just about being technically correct all the time....its more about visual appeal and the message portrayed through it.

HDR, Orton etc are all effects that gives your eye a different dimension to look at.

i dont know. a good picture doesnt need help. again just my opinion.

I agree with Steve. I don't like HDR either. I like plain and simple with a little touch of PS, that's it.

anymore entries?

Not from me and Steve.

i know that already

:hand:

booo yah

Is right..

doesnt look real....kinda cartoonish or as stevil said video gamish

so many pictures that you love comprise of HDR elements, you just dont know it hahaha

Does that include Ron Jeremy pics? Steve likes pr0n.

thats the whole point.....its not unreal...its surreal.

lol so true. if it was not for digital media post processing, most product advertising wont sell at all.

xray...you should atleast give it a try imo

so you need the actual exposure time of the pictures or you assume values?
and what is EV ?

exposure time is the shutter speed while EV is your exposure value...set in increments over a range. i am not familiar with the software you are using so sorry...cant help
