Is it just me or do these kinds of landscape photos look really 'weird'? They don't look anything like reality, they look like a computer render or something. Not saying this method is inherently bad it just gives me a sort of uncanny valley effect for landscapes I guess.

nah they look fucked up to me too with its no shadows and no depth

>uncanny valley effect for landscapes
yup thats the right expression. the worst part is that not even b&w film photo causes that, being all abstracted and all. even high contrast, even shots that have been stenciled the fuck out of them, you still see the subjects in the photo, not a "render".
OP image is HDR, plus it has dumb fake digital colors. its going to look crap. like 90% of flickr.

nah, looks like shitty stacked "long" exposure with adde satietam maximum and the clarity slider jacked up.
>that fucking horizon
>and the rest
not sure where you're from, but that's what the beach looks like here.

They look weird because literally your entire life, your eyes and bran have been learning how things look, and how light works, and how shadows are formed, and when you fuck with it and do a bad job, your eye instantly notices. HDR beginners tend to use it to completely raise shadows to mids, which isn't how light works, so their results tend to look bad.

Pic looks pretty similar to actual sunsets desu, and it doesn't even have to be HDR.
I've gotten similar results with a D810, stacking a circular polarizer with a graded ND filter. I used quuite little post processing.

Why not post your results then
