That is not a photograph. It's an extremely-manipulated digital image. Try again.

It is hdr. It's not 'rediculously manipulated'. It's an HDR PHOTOGRAPH. I know it might be a little 'over the top' but I'm just experimenting with different techniques at the moment for my photography coursework and it was all I had that vaguely related to industry. k?

HDR is ridiculously manipulated. Every part of the photo except for the rare "perfectly exposed" portion is completely changed, brightened, darkened, whatever. Plus, it looks like you saturated the hell out of it. It's not a photograph anymore.

Whatever though, do what you want.

High Dynamic Range is just descriptive of the light conditions available. It is not always necessary to run a couple of exposures through tone mapping software to get the best range available. What you have done is taken an image that probably would have been fine (can't tell without seeing the originals) and manipulated it till it looks ridiculous. How can you not see that that is not what light is supposed to look like? I don't think anyone in this thread doesn't know what HDR is - it's a photography thread for crying out loud. What you have produced there is manipulated, and it looks ridiculous, hence ridiculously manipulated. See the kind of 'aura' that the trees to the left of your photo have - that's a sign that it's overprocessed.

Another quick point - don't think that I am specifically against HDR, I think it produces some great images. But it is consistently overused to create photos with ridiculously unnatural tonal ranges. For example:

BAD HDR
photo

GOOD HDR
Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://www.astro-image.org/images/tr/arcadia.jpg

See this is the only reason I would use a HDR type process:
bringing the sky back into this photo as opposed to the non-processed version

photo
processed

photo
non-processed

I know the temp is way up on one and down on the other but I couldn't be bothered to change that.

Like I said: "I know it might be a little 'over the top' but I'm just experimenting with different techniques at the moment for my photography coursework and it was all I had that vaguely related to industry."

To Hombre: I didn't saturate the hell out of it, the machinery is actually that colour, and so was the sunset. Wink

To iamanidiot: I didn't actually notice the halo/aura. when I did it. I take back the not over-processed bit.. Sorry! :\

If a competition didn't have any rules it wouldn't be much of a competition.
