Almost HDR...

Let me start off by saying this: I do not like HDR photography. I think there are very few occasions when it makes sense and actually looks sensible. Most of the time, it just looks like you've boosted all the sliders up and saturated the shit out of the picture.

I was editing some time-lapse shots i took with my Fisheye and a my 24-70, and i was playing with the colour and tone levels, and all of a sudden I had an HDR disaster. WHY!!!! Absolute crisis. Eventually, I think I found a sensible balance between pleasant to look at and infernally putrid upchuck of HDR.

Anyone remember that campaign they had in the States against Meth? Where the catch-phrase was: "METH, Not even once." I think I should start a campaign against HDR, and the catch-phrase could be: "HDR, Not even as a joke". Same goes for Trance/Psy-Trance music. It will turn you into a blabbering idiot quicker than the psychedelic class-A drugs that are associated with its bare-footed, earth stomping hobbit folk.

Here are some shots. N

Its true.
