Fact is that when I googled for 'HDR sucks' and wanted to get to your post, Mr. Google said your site is harmful. This was today, August 10. You may want to knock on Mr.Google's door tomorrow, with a polite request to update in one hand, and a baseball bat in the other. ;) Life’s a bitch aint it?

]]> Comment on HDR Sucks - Take a Photography Class Instead by predalien http://www.dailything.com/2008/02/03/hdr-sucks-take-a-photography-class-instead/#comment-102750 predalien Sun, 10 Aug 2008 15:48:24 +0000 http://www.dailything.com/2008/02/03/hdr-sucks-take-a-photography-class-instead/#comment-102750 Nailed it, sir! HDR indeed sucks, and big time. It's true that maybe one in 100 HDRs looks good, but the way this is usually used reminds me of poor people's desperate need to "live", it's just like listening in awe to loud music, like cool eye-hurting dressing, it's become a great tool for the photo-masses to impress and be impressed. Duh. Technically, working with gamma yields better results, nicer looking and more true to the original scene. Since setting gamma does little alteration to an image, this is the first tool I use on fixing images. Now, if HDR would be classified as 'artistic' effect, I wouldn't mind it, but it's one thing to watch pointillized [?] or oiled-up [:D] photos - which usually look great, and another to try to pass HDR as the recommended way a picture should look. At one point, I wondered whether it's not all about reduced sensitivity to color (loud noisy photo i'd say), much like daltonism. I can only hope that this is simply a trend, and like all fashion it will die young. Nailed it, sir! HDR indeed sucks, and big time.
