		<description>Hi Michael,

I LOVE the skies in your HDR Wash Natl Cathedral shots!  GORGEOUS!  Plus, the food portfolio on your website is terrific.  Great work!  The food looks absolutely delicious, which is the goal right?!

I just got back from 12 days touring the parks of Southern Utah.  I&#039;m doing a photo-a-day blog post, though I kind of got behind b/c it&#039;s a lot of work to shoot all day then come home, sort and process!  Still have to do days 9-12.  But half of what I&#039;ve posted so far are HDR.  Check these two out:

		<description>Great article, Irene. It&#039;s great to see several examples that show before and after images. I enjoy the challenge of using the HDR technique in the post-processing of some of my images, just as photographers did in darkrooms many years ago. (HDR is not new ... just relatively new and accessible in digital photography).

But, I think asking that surveying people and asking if they like HDR is like asking if they like photography. Or asking if they like noise reduction, or sharpening, etc. A better question might be &quot;what kind of HDR do you like?&quot; The possible answers could be &quot;highly processed with saturated colors and super grainy effects&quot;, &quot;natural looking photos&quot;, etc.

Here&#039;s another way to look at it: But first take the following survey:

Do you like food?
- Love it!
- Enjoy it when done correctly
- It’s usually done incorrectly
- Shouldn’t be considered nutrition
- What’s food?
- Hate it!</description>

		<description>Add me to the list of people that love HDR... especially for high contrast scenes. I&#039;ve used it for landscapes (where it shines best if not overcooked) stills (great for surreal looks) and humans - great for creating a really gritty look.

It&#039;s a great tool and quite easily applied even with 3 shots.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t even bother saying if an image is HDR or not anymore.  I have tried to seamlessly integrate it into my workflow.  If an image has an extended dynamic range beyond my camera, I will use it.  Sometimes I have results that look totally natural...and some are a bit &quot;super-real.&quot;  Depends on what I am after.  Sometimes I do this with multiple exposures...and other times it is with raw conversion within a file utilizing multiple iterations to achieve the exposure I intend.  I think HDR works especially well for black and white images.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the interesting review of HDR, Irene.  Everyone should read it.  HDR is a wonderful tool, in my opinion, but I think it&#039;s best used when the viewer isn&#039;t really aware of it, as in most of your examples.  The more extreme HDR effects are an interesting novelty, and the grudge look is really effective with certain subjects, and I love to play with extreme effects myself, but long term I think the natural look has more staying power.  :-)</description>
