I bet I could figure out the radio and heater controls on that old Cadillac, which is more than I can do with my wife's Honda touchscreenI'm not going to throw rocks at someone who wants to drive a modern car no matter how stupid I think their bluetooth-connected touch-screen on the dash is. Because the modern touch screen is really no more absurd than the tail fins on a ...

Autotune and Ableton.To me it's a gimmick. And, a gimmick is just a substitute for competence. Like a rock musician who can't play well so just plays loud instead and hopes no one will notice he sucks.

I think the original is called Fauvism ...

Thanks!
Would be great for. Making negatives!!

i've been spending the last year revitalizing old post cards from the turn of the century. i love old post cards. from what my leeky research has told me, some were done with the Chromolithography Process. they were vivid and colorful and sort of HDR of their day done in 1900 in what one might call a Photo Shoppe. i've been using a simple levels, burn dodge technique but using this program would make my life easier LOL, i wish they'd give a trial subscription
>>>>> The HDR app is useful if the photographer knows how to use it. But there's a lot of bad HDR out there.
You have nailed it in one! Used well, it is a superb app that provides a result that may not have been viable due to time, tonal range etc. I shoot hotels and commercial properties for clients and 99.99% of the time, I will light rooms in addition to natural light to achieve the results I require.
On those *very* rare occasions that I might be asked to shoot on the afternoon/night of my arrival (and my assistant is still in transit) I have used HDR to achieve the shot. Note though, I bracket the h*** out of the scene and instruct my digital tech to create a "real" image, not one that looks like "Lego blocks".
As always, others MMV.
They have changed the image -- removed the smog of some large city.
If it would help me to better express the light I find and experience, then it would be an interesting tool to use -- if I did anything digitally except reproducing work for internet use. My quest is, as I mentioned, is to express the light I find, not to paint pretty pictures with it....most of the time, LOL!
Got a couple hours to wait for some freshly pt/pd coated watercolor paper to dry so I can make some prints needed for family obligations...last minute, of course. Some need to be hand-carried to Chile in a few days and some head north to accompany a book of my nephew's wedding.
It depends on how you apply HDR processing. You can use it in a very subtle way, such that its application is not very obvious to the viewer. In a high contrast scene, HDR can indeed be a quite useful tool. You can also use HDR much more aggressively, generating candy colors and killing all the shadows within the image, causing the scene to appear very flat and cartoon-like. Many photographers who have never dabbled in HDR photography falsely assume only the latter is possible.
Which is why I pity the folks that drive through in the summer for their one redwood experience. With rain and the seasons, the aromas, color and mood changes under the redwoods. Sometimes it is good to get wet, with moss and redwoods needles in the beard.The things I most love about redwood forests are the aroma and the soft ground cover.
Nanette, great name! Nice work, too. Love your Lego block metaphor
But there's a lot of bad HDR out there.
This!
In my not so humble opinion, most HDR photos that I see posted are overdone, if not poorly done. There are a few, however, that use HDR effectively, and with those, it's not obvious at first glance that they are HDR shots.
