I believe these images are very interesting i am new to photography so to me these composition almost look flawless, but they may have been touched up in order to create the desired effect but overall i really like the wide anlge lens, because it really does make the image look interesting

I’m pretty sure the rooster is the worst of the bunch. Wanna talk about screing around in Photomatix? Look at the sky ober the rooster’s right shoulder, your left. It’s awful. I’m all for surrealism and wide-angle and HDR; that’s what they’re for most often. But that is just not very good. Poorly executed in every sense. For people who can take good pictures AND make them look a bit better with HDR? Props to you. Same goes for those who can take a good picture and make it a crazy-but-still-good picture with HDR.

If you’re gonna go crazy, go crazy and end up with something solid and presentable.

OMG, these images are amazing and done through a wide angle lens…. I’m currently researching on it’s effects to see if I can take advantage of these type of images in my photography adventure.

As far as I am concerned HDR is up to the artist (photographer). Even the old masters like Cole, Adams, etc., used to dodge and burn their works to achieve their masterpieces. That is the same as using HDR today just a different technology. I am not wild about the surreal colors or images but they also are expressing their views, not mine , so be it.

HDR; I have never done it, too lazy I guess. However, I have been looking at HDR images for the past year and as of this date I agree with all those who say ‘it has been nearly worked to death’. Photography is art, but not in the same sense as an oil painting or some such. Think photographs look better as photographs, even the ones from long long ago.

HDR is of course the modern equal to exposure blending, however I agree with most above, photomatix has turned HDR into a horrible onslaught of over saturated photo’s….I do HDR work often enough but I never make them look like this, and I never use automated programs specific to HDR…..photoshop and adjust, but keep it NATURAL looking, that being said as a fellow artist I can see where some think they look cool, and honestly they do, but not in a photography sense, in a man made sense:) either way I’ll stick with natural HDR and go buy a new 10mm lens:)

I like some of the architectural/interior shots (like the bridge, cathedral and escalator), but the ones with the extremely obvious HDR work look fake and silly for my taste. Is it me or do these types of HDR overdoses look more like sloppily-filled-in paint by numbers paintings rather than photographs?

These are amazing examples. Glad I ran into this, I’m especially excited because I just bought a tokina 11-16 f2.8.

I wrote that not reading one post from other people, and realised, after the comment box said”look slike you already said that”(huh!,haha), wow, so many of us are dying to see some piks raw, letting the camera do its job, glad Im not alone here……dont get me wrong the piks are awsome, the post production wrecks them a little.
