How's this for an HDR?
Pretty terrible, but then 99% of all HDR is terrible.
To much post work? Not realistic enough?
very odd looking.
>>2764996
It's an excellent example of how terrible it can be.
How about this one?
>>2765005
do you think it looks cool?
I think it's better than the first, but still not that good.
>>2764996
>ITT /p/ shows for the 10th year running it still hasn't learned the difference between tonemapping and HDR
>>2765014
Tone mapping is just jacking the sharpness, detail, hue, and saturation around. True HDR is combining 3 or more photos at different exposures to more accurately represent what our eyes see. Would you call that accuate?
I fucked around with HDR too and it looked just like OPs pic.
What are we doing wrong?
>>2764998
Lmao you clearly don't know shit if you think 99% is terrible.
>>2765031
if you google HDR then you can't blame someone for thinking 99 percent of it is shit.
>>2765005
That's abysmal
>>2764996
Awful.
Which is exactly how HDR is supposed to look, grats.
>>2765031
Lmao I've been looking at hdr since you were a crinkle in your daddy's nutsack, kiddo. I can tell you certifiably, without a doubt, that it is the worst blight to ever befall photography. I've seen maybe twenty or thirty examples that didn't look like your autistic nephew's pencil drawings. You know the ones.
>>2765056
>>2765104
still looks a little off, unnatural.
>>2765105
If this wasn't posted in a HDR related thread, you wouldn't have a fucking clue
>>2765031
>>2765056
You can't tell that the HDR that isn't terrible is actually HDR because it never looks like overprocessed shit.
It's like how you don't see good CGI because if it's good you won't even know it's there.
the original purpose of HDR was the expand the dynamic range of a photo to match what the eye sees, but photo plebs took it and made the garbage that you see in OP's image.
>>2765207
I know mate, this is what I was saying. Not sure why you replied to me and not the fuckwit claiming that 99% is shit.
>>2765104
Wow. Good looking, natural HDR, I'll be damned.
>>2765104
Nice shot this.
After fiddling with HDR settings I must say it's hard as fuck not to overdo it. After some tweaking it looks alright only to discover it actually still looks bad the next day.
Pic related, still overdid it.

not the best shot but this is an hdr. sometimes you cant capture a scene properly given the light you have and have to take multiple shots

Well at least it isn't Swift
That looks atrocious btw
I like your first picture, OP.
Not because you did a good job of making it HDR, or because it's a compelling photo, because it's neither.
I just like how you fucked it so hard, it turned into a 1990's style drawing of a photograph that I would expect to see hanging in a bank that catered exclusively to truckers.

The blacks are still crushed AF, and the tones looks like digishit.
>Not posting pic related in a HDR thread
>>2767521
Yeah I was lucky on that day
Like
Really lucky
>>2767677
>digishit
Well I wasn't going for a film look so I guess that's okay
For the blacks though I have to agree, but that's on me, there are quite a lot of HDRs with nice blacks I'm sure
Also congrats on making me feel

>>2768530
into their phone*, you know what i mean.
>>2768530
Well yeah sure
But someone who know what he's doing can still do good things with that
Also HDR in a phone isn't very useful compared to what you can do with a DSLR
It serves a purpose, literally anyone can take pictures nowadays, not everyone can do it well, it's the same shit
>>2768564
hdr unlike most other things is done wrong 99.9999999999% of the time though
>>2767008
This just looks like a picture shot at 3200 ISO. It's cool, but I don't see how using the extra effort for an HDR image helped/
>>2768639
I took 4 shots trying to not blow the highlights.
There was some kind of LED bulb in the thing.
I finally said, fuck it, and bracketed it.
If I had a tripod with maybe I could have dropped the ISO enough to make this work.
But, I was just running around with the girlfriend doing tourist things and bar hopping and couldn't be bothered to haul a bunch of extra gear.

you're supposed to use low iso when doing HDR duder
>>2768780
No, I totally agree.
I could have just been happy with the blown out or under exposed pics that 99.5% of everybody else shooting that sight were getting.
But, I accomplished my goal, shooting hand held, with the gear I had with me and that makes me happy.
Only thing I'd probably do is crank down the saturation and play with the WB and curves some.
>>2768573
What fuckwits like yourself can't seem to understand though, is that when HDR is done right you won't be able to even tell it's HDR. So how can you say 99% is done wrong, when a large percent is done right and you just don't notice? Stop talking out your ass on a subject you know fuck all about.
>>2768947
>when HDR is done right you won't be able to even tell it's HDR
1. Bullshit.
2. If you can't tell, why do it?

Because in many cases you can't get the results you're after without it...

I like it OP.
fuck the haters, it's art, art = subjective
If you like it and would hang it on your wall or know anyone that likes it and would hang it on their wall it is art.
I fucking love art... & music
Does it look like a photograph, no but who cares?
