This time I’ve looked around RB for images that have caught my eye, and this one covers HDR.

I should say straight up, HDR isn’t everyone’s “cup of tea” and that’s fair enough. This thought stems from what people see as over doing the process to seeing too many using the process.

Then there are the purists who insist HDR must be three separate images or more, not creating extra ones in a program like photoshop. For those that want to pursue that debate, feel free to do so, on the forum though, as this is just an exercise on what has caught my eye

Please Enjoy.

First up is Dave Warren. Dave has numerous shots in his PF that are of a HDR nature and one worth looking over if you want inspired. I particularly like Sunrise Over Inquisitive Eyes and not because it has that natural feel about it, but because of areas that HDR has brought out.

Shane Smart is another who dabbles in HDR, and does a mighty fine job too I might add. Spend some time checking out his work. I love the surreal feel of his work “Transcendent” to me it has a feeling of being “visited” from another planet. I’m sure that’s not the intention but it’s how I look upon it.

Transcendent






Ben Pacificar is a prolific “HDRer” bringing the dirty, grungy and cast off things back to life. You’ll need a cup of coffee if you are going to spend time going through his extensive PF

Overhaul






Heather Hartkamp is another who loves the side of “tone mapping” her photos and expertly done too. Interiors, exteriors, landscapes all get the HDR attention.

The Staircase






This edition of Caught My Eye threw up so many wonderful artists who display excellent HDR work and there are probably 100’s more that I haven’t even discovered yet, but here are a few more to check out.
