Thoughts? Oversaturated? Still trying to get the hang of this HDR thing :eek: This was done on my iPhone and not my DSLR if that makes a difference.

SleepyPanda - how much post (aside from the HDR) did you do to that pic? Because out here in the west, every other building has the same crap interior lighting, blue, yellow, or sodium - but in that cityscape out east - wow, everyone's got a different shade of interior lighting. (I think that's awesome)

If you saturated and toyed with the colors yourself, lie to me, and say "no, out here we have awesome lighting". Because if I took the equivalent picture of Boston, MA - it'll look greyscale next to yours.

Big-TDI-Guy - I think its just the lights here. There are so many different choices from different color CF, LED, etc. I never really noticed it until you pointed it out :p

Keleko,
That first pic makes me think of H.R. Giger's bio-mechanical artwork for some reason. It's kind of creepy and intriguing at the same time;)
Must be similar color palate or the intertwined roots.. something. Well done, sir

A Giger tree! I knew it reminded me of some kind of look, and now you've identified it for me. Thanks for making that connection for me.

igh dynamic range (HDR) images enable photographers to record a greater range of tonal detail than a camera could capture in a single photo. This opens up a whole new set of lighting possibilities which one might have previously avoided — for purely technical reasons. The new "merge to HDR" feature of Photoshop accomplishes this by combining a series of bracketed exposures into a single image, which encompasses the tonal detail of the entire series.

Sorry, I admittedly have not taken the time to read through much, but what does everyone think of hyper-realistic HDR photos?

If anyone is interested Photomatix has opened up the beta for the new version they are working on.

http://www.hdrsoft.com/download/betas/pmp50.php

I wonder if it will be a free upgrade? To date it has been one of my better purchases. :)

Here's a light HDR treatment from last month.

Normally I'm not a big fan but sometimes they catch my eye. I do like yours but even so I find it a bit too overcooked. Otherwise I like the colors and bricks.
