Old Orange Truck on 17th Ave.

This is a discussion on Old Orange Truck on 17th Ave. within the Architecture & Man Made (cities, buildings, roads, objects & abstracts) forums, part of the Show your photo (Color) - Landscape & Nature (flowers, mountains, storms etc.) category; I thought this would work in HDR too....

    I'm torn with the HDR stuff. I like the results some times but not others. I love the look of the truck but not too fond of the background scenery. It feels fake. Sorry, not picking on you just not sure about all this HDR stuff. Maybe it's just because I've never done any?

    I often back the saturation down on mine to avoid that 'fake' look. Although some HDR Merge photos do look good to me when they are fake but I feel it's a select scene that qualifies.

    See, I kinda like the "fake" look. I don't know why, but it appeals to me. I guess it makes the photo become more like a painting and since I'm a crappy painter, this is the closest I can get.

    I'm with Iggy about being torn. NORMALLY I like subdued HDRs...in this case though, the whacked colour is working for me.

    It's funny. For the longest time I thought I was doing HDR wrong because I didn't get that painted look on some.

    I don't mind it in some scences, it actually helps to bring out the photo. Other times I'm not to crazy about it. I like it here. It reminds me of an image you'd see from game. Hmm..could use a slurpee right about now!
