Glad it's not just me. I think HDR looks weird. Chacun à son goût, and
all that.

Kind of agree, but I'm warming to it.


They - or this one in particular - have a certain 'impressionist' feel to
them. Add a brush-stroke filter to it, tweak the lightning a bit and
before you know it .... the afternoon's gone.

Hey Dave! YES! That is the setting I used in Photomatix. It is called
"Painterly"....it is the one I like to use most often when creating an HDR
image. It just looks better to me than "Grunge." On the other hand...."Deep
Compressor" is another one which sometimes appeals. It really depends on the
image you start out with and what works with it.

Nick

Correct!

All of them need a scrub....that is a given......the CL-13 is in the worst
shape of the lot. The Silver Star needs a bit of touchup too....but not
much. Oddly enough, the Canuck is in pretty good shape. The Voodoo is more
or less OK. A bit of a cleaning and perhaps a touchup here and there and it
would be fine. The Starfighter is more or less in the same boat. Just a bit
of a cleaning and maybe a touchup here and there.

Regards,

Nick

Housekeeping, that's what it's all about.

Well, why not. Photography is more of an art form than we think, I can
understand your work a lot more than a lot of the "art" that my government
has paid a lot of money for.


Wouldn't want to see _every_ photo processed this way, just enough to see
the good ones stand out.

Agreed. I think HDR can be used for effect on some images....but not on
others.

I like to experiment with it now and again.....sometimes with good results
and at other times.....YUCK! Sometimes it just does not work out and I'm
more than satisfied with the original properly exposed image.

Regardless of HDR, Photoshop, and so forth.....it is important to get a
decent image right from the start before you go monkeying around with it.

Nick
