Is HDR ruining photography? in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing Posted August 23, 2008 It's great to see this discussion, and what people has to say with regards to HDR photography. It's quite good to see some example above as well with what's being discussed. There are some examples here on how HDR can help good photographs become better. But i have seen examples here as well that solely relies on HDR to actually produce stunning images, which are actually stunning due to the surreal colors, but aside from HDR they are actually pretty plain, some of them. Come on they're stark, for some of them, that's all they are, but what's the soul and the story? It's easy to get caught with the bandwagon. I guess in response to what Dave Hickey has posted, is that it is only him as a photographer who can tell for himself if he is happy with his art. If he's already been using HDR and yet not happy about it then there's something wrong. I mean to say, a good photographer knows how to distinguish a good photograph, HDR or not.
