    He wants a Bowhunt or Die sticker, not a Bowhunting.com one. :bash:

    So you're lumping one experience in with the rest?

    And if you don't send me one, I'll stop contributing all the useful information to this forum. Now just imagine that for a moment.

    I'll send you my address.

    I'm not sure what you mean by one experience. Are you talking about just my photos I got from her or just her photography in general? At least a dozen people I graduated high school with all had grad pictures from her that turned out the same as mine, and countless weddings to boot which is more than one experience no matter which way you look at it.

    Willie, you're completely missing what I'm talking about. Enhancing a photo is one thing, completely changing it is another.

    Follow this link and you'll see tons of examples of what I'm talking about.

    I can't wait for the fad to die.

    I'll be honest - when HDR is done right I think it looks badass. But like anything, there's a time and place that works best. Some images work great, others don't.

    Dan's just a hater.

    Sure it can. But, as long as we're being honest, its not photography. Its digital art.

    I'm not a hater, I love everyone and everything. Even that kid who thinks I try to envoke the Power of Greyskull.

    Its been going strong for years and gaining popularity.

    Your kids will like HDR images. Yeah, I said it.

    Did you know artist will paint scenes in bright, vivid colors? Its true.

    I'm going to shelter them like they're farm kids.

    Yeah and people call them artists, not photographers.

    When we move in together, I'm filling the walls with HDR images.

    Ok Vito I think that's for a different type of forum. Lol.
    I honestly feel that the beauty of Art is in the eye of the beholder. Not only the artist.

    Dan,

    When you roll over from a hard nights "work"....is that your work? Or should the credit go to Viagra?

    That analogy doesn't work. In your analogy, the viagra is the camera. Now if he took some sort of enhancement drug for his junk, making it appear larger than what it originally was, then that would be similar to HDR.

    Ok, serious question. Did you spend more time learning about the camera, lighting, shadows, ect or about editing your photos?

    Both, but the editing was all done in the darkroom back then.

    I agree with your point Dan, it's all just part of the evolution. Painters used to shun photographs because anyone could just go out and take a picture. Digital photography was/is shunned by purist film photographers because of the instant feedback and loss of the need to make each photo count. Similar in many ways to the compound vs. traditional vs. gun debates.

    The popularity of these images will peak, then slip and plateau. And we will all be ok. IR imaging might be the next photography fad...
