I'm starting to enjoy HDR processing, but at the moment only my toes are in the
water. I still go for the more photorealistic style, with just a touch of HDR
edginess to the image to add some pop or whatever it is. It's a bit like
stylization, well, that's exactly what it is. You're messing with reality more
than you normally do in a single-shot endeavor.
Definitely not for everyone. I was out the other morning shooting my favorite
lighthouse, and I decided to take a few HDR shots. Used a five-shot bracket
with exposure value set to -1. I'm not quite finished with it yet, but I'm
liking the look, particularly for Pemaquid, which is, to put it kindly, a bit
of a cliche from every angle in every light in all weather conditions.
