Exactly. HDR isn't anything new. > Great for those who are photographers or lovers of dramatic pictures, > but a little (I hate to say misleading, but that's the only word I can > think of right now so...) misleading to those who are attracted to > places shown in photo's. Like tourist brochure pictures showing something dramatic but conveniently leaving an eyesore out of shot. Like the pyramids without the tourists, smog/dust and hotels. I often think that when I see something that looks great whether it's a realistic representation. So yeah, it's misleading, to a point. > Granted these photo's are usually designed > to attract people to places (advertisements an' all that) but there > are some out there, me included, who never realised the extent to > which some photo's have been tweaked. I've got news for you. Films and TV programmes don't look like real life either. Ever noticed how Top Gear nearly always has a graduated filter on the sky to reduce the contrast? > I'd never heard of HDR for a start.

HDR is just another tool. You can't just take a photo of any old thing and make it good, just by post-processing. Even though I've recently gone overboard with HDR, I still only find 1 or 2 from a trip that work for me. Sometimes the single shot works better. > Still very interesting mind. It's a brave new world and no mistake.
