That’s excellent Robert. … and I’ve long been a fan of Trey’s site.
Nice job on this.
I have also been following Trey for some time, he is very helpful and informative on the subject of HDR photography.
I have dabbled in it myself, but in most cases I do not have the time to linger to take enough time to do it right. Burmis Tree
Wish I could afford a HD camera. The full moon behind an
amazing cloud formation out here on the coast was a keeper.

I agree with Sean, although there’s artistic merit to the image, I’ve always felt that HDR’s place is to create an image truer to what we see.
HDR is fantastic when well cooked. Not so much if you go for the oversaturated look. I love HDR for shots in the forest or early morning sunrises. As far as that atrocity of an Olympic cauldron, in person, the thing is just an eyesore. Whoever designed this thing should have to pay back whatever Vanoc paid him/her. JMO
Yes, not much of recommendation to feature a photo of that eyesore. No wonder he tried to alter it…
Trey is one of the masters of HDR! Been a fan for a long time.

While the composition is superb, I’m not a fan of the “over-baked” HDR look. I have dabbled with it infrequently, preferring a more natural looking image instead:

My preferred tool for HDR is Picturenaut, which is free from HDR Labs. Anyone looking for specific info is welcome to message me outside of these comments.
