HDR Photos vs. Unedited Photos

10-21-09

Recently I posted a note regarding an editing process referred to as HDR. I have, up until now, shied away from this process as I felt the end result looked "fake" or "over-worked". I always make it a point to scan the blogosphere for dynamic ideas and trends in real estate photography. Over the past year or so I have seen the demand for these types of images increase dramatically. So below I have shown some examples of minimally edited photos compared to HDR photos. Below that I have included some examples of what I feel, looks WAY over worked. What are your thoughts????




Below are 2 examples of some images that I feel to be WAY too overworked. While they are beautiful, I think for the purpose I am using them for, its just not a good fit.
