tlc Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Do you use HDR at all? I don't think I have seen any HDR images in this forum ever. Just curious? Edited February 10, 2011 by tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 No - way beyond me But I love THIS GUY'S work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Wow his stuff is nice, really nice. I have a guy on my facebook who fanices himself a bit of a pro and most of his images are HDR but I am trying to figure out if they are over done, they always look really dark and I wasn't sure if all HDR images were like that. I think he just takes it to the extreme. It suits some of his shots but he seems to do it to everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naomi Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I definitely want to have a go at it soon! The results are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I'm not into it - I have enough trouble with a single shot It does get quite overdone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I wish I could pop up one of these guys images for you guys to see but I don't think that would be ethical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Is this type of editing taking it to the extreme or is it like a style? Edited February 10, 2011 by tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naomi Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hmmm those seem a bit extreme and the effect is lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 They all seem to have the dark sky effect even if it was a nice day, so it must be extreme editing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I love it, I think Ash has done it or if not with 3 individual images then something similar with just one. The shot of her pointer in her siggy has it I think, that's the first time I saw it and I didn't know what it was about that image I loved, then about a year later I went back and read what she wrote and thought aaaaahh now I know.

tlc Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 So Kirislin, what do you think of the images I posted? To overdone or do you like them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 They probably are overdone but I like them anyway. When used more subtly it's very effective too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yes true, I think with this photographer he has adopted the overdone HDR as his style if that makes sense. Some of his stuff is good but other just meh! I wonder do sometimes if HDR is used to make an otherwise crappy pic look better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:ange: Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I like a well done HDR.. I like the first image more than the other. You can achieve the HDR 'look' in photoshop by doing this and then that and then another bit of this.. but pfffft. Seems a little complex. I also agree with Huga, totally overdone and have come to cringe when I see HDR images lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I have tried - nothing i like enough to share though. I find a lot of it is terribly overdone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 For a while I really liked it, but it is done so badly so often that I've "gone off it". Trey Radcliffe (Stuck in Customs) is the ultimate, and also has tutorials along with brilliantly created images.

kja Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 It's just like any novelty - when it's done very well and in an appropriate context, it can look great. Unfortunately, the vast majority of users don't really get it and overdo it or do it badly (can you say "ghosting" or "halos") or do it on images that don't really work for HDR. I totally think everyone should have a go at it however as it help you visualize new things and try new techniques. Same with selective colour, experimenting with toning in monochrome/BW images, tilt-shift, super shallow DOF, textures, high key and pretty much everything else! Go forth and have fun, I say!
