HDR (High Dynamic Range)
Cropped up in a recent thread and reminded me of a conversation I had a couple of days ago with friends of mine.
For anybody that doesn't know......Sometimes a scene contains very bright and and very dark areas and the camera may be unable to correctly expose both. To get around the problem you take more than one exposure to capture the extremes and blend them together to create a single image of correct exposure.
Anyway HDR - love it or loathe it what is your view of how HDR should be used or more to the point - how do you prefer it to be used in terms of the results you see.
Some said - The perfect HDR image should 'appear' to be nothing more than one very well exposed image.
Some said - HDR is a 'style' which is not possible with one exposure in any conditions.
I accept we can dodge and burn and if in doubt under expose as detail can be brought back providing it's not burned but from an HDR point of view i'm keen to get peoples thoughts.
