- trentrezn0r, on 07/31/2008, -2/+27Yah, these are way too ridiculous. Way too much saturation. HDR is to merge detail or light from multiple shots into one that you couldn't gather with one single shot. It's not meant to burn out my eyeballs.
There are two HRD audiences. The ones who like this stuff and the ones who like more detail minus eye melting. I guess this set is geared toward the former. You can tell which I like. Here are some examples of that:

Not that this Digg'd person doesn't have good angles or composition, they're great. It's just the overly post-processed HDR that is too much for me. - soopafly, on 07/31/2008, -6/+29Can you say overdone?
- wtfblakegtfo, on 07/31/2008, -6/+27horrible, this destroys the natural beauty of iceland.
- clickfire, on 07/31/2008, -6/+26Can you say wallpaper?
- dullnation, on 07/31/2008, -4/+24They look a mess.
- trollick, on 07/31/2008, -4/+19HDR for HDR sake = Lame
- Boucheelu, on 07/31/2008, -5/+19I don't mind the style here but HDR is a very subjective style. Here it is used in an artistic way to enhance low points in many of the images but HDR has a wide range of styles and reasons for use...
I like a less gimmicky and more detail oriented HDR image... Like this.

*runs to room and cries* - motionblur, on 07/31/2008, -1/+12Yes. "Wallpaper".

- kidjay, on 07/31/2008, -3/+11awful. just disgusting. this is a real hdr photo

I think 9 out of 10 HDR images out there are total *****. People figured out how to do it and now they can't stop turning the dials up. You can make a stunning images with multiple exposures, but these, like most, are just totally overdone. - izikdela, on 07/31/2008, -0/+7@yikiad
No, because he doesn't have a typing impediment. - hydr, on 07/31/2008, -5/+12Ugly Fugly, if I want to see cartoons I watch the simpsons.
- 3zero3, on 07/31/2008, -1/+6You need at least 5 to make a decent hdr image. What photogs do is bracket their image so they take two underexposed, one at the 'correct' metered exposure, and two overexposed. The amount they are under/overexposed varies (2/3rds of a stop to 2 full stops or so). The point is to let those other exposures capture information in the highlights and shadows that one normal exposure would miss altogether. When you merge them together, you get a tonal range that is impossible to get with one single exposure.
- Paranoidmarvin, on 07/31/2008, -0/+4Going to Iceland in October - I can't wait!
- darny, on 07/31/2008, -1/+5Look mom, i can download photomatix!
- npowel, on 07/31/2008, -0/+4I'd say it was the other way around.
- unkk, on 07/31/2008, -2/+6Overly post-processed
- yikiad, on 07/31/2008, -1/+4don't you mean "mhy evewee one make fun of speech impediments? *wuns to woom and cwies*"
- bxblox, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3Oh no! Not Americans!!!
- Remmiz, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3Those look much better imo. I don't feel like I'm staring at the sun or some super Photoshopped picture
- Philbert, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3Thank you.
- asskicker32, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3LA River?
- bj00rn, on 08/01/2008, -0/+3The typical HDR pictures floating around digg are really badly done (overdone and oversaturated) and needs to die..
"HDR"-techniques are meant to be used to overcome the lack of dynamics of the film/sensor in a large contrast light/dark environment, like f.ex. to bring BACK the detail in a landscape scene where the detail either is focused on the sky or the ground.
HDR should be used as a ND Grad filter, not like a splooging teenager at the sight of a pair of boobs.
And let me tell you, this guy did not just use different exposures, the pictures are Photoshopped to hell and back. - deaftly, on 07/31/2008, -5/+7Wheres the ice?!?
- inactive, on 08/01/2008, -2/+4If you can't make a photo interesting without ***** with the color scheme, then one or both of the following is true:
a) You're a ***** photographer
b) Your subject is ***** boring
These fake HDR photos are ***** retarded, just like the douchebags that dig this sort of story up. - wisie, on 08/01/2008, -0/+2Can you say UGLY?
- donnie0darko0, on 07/31/2008, -0/+2this one goes to 11
- stevieraveon, on 07/31/2008, -0/+2Man that is sweet, makes me want to do an 8-ball and start dancing
Direct link to the large resolution one of this
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jazminmillion/2699340 ... - diggystardust, on 07/31/2008, -1/+3If you guys have firefox and haven't gotten the PicLens plug-in. I highly recommend you do so for things like this.
- HereticChick, on 08/01/2008, -0/+2I love anything that has to do with Iceland. We lived there for 1 1/2 years when my husband was in the military. That was over 20 years ago! I still dream that we move back there. I loved it!
- assbeard, on 07/31/2008, -1/+3for christ sake, why does this stuff keep getting to the front page? it's all the same, and it's all overdone.
- MCCULLAH, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2thats no iceland!
- gerryk, on 08/01/2008, -2/+4Why not? Who said comments had to be positive? If I like something, I'll say it, and likewise, if I don't, I'll also say it... whether you or anyone else is happy about that is immaterial.
- EtherGnat, on 07/31/2008, -0/+2Poelpe wtih tniypg ipmdeinetms hvae feliegns oto.
- xster, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1HDR > all
- nydwarf, on 08/02/2008, -0/+1I like them both ways lots of possibilities.
- MovieBlog, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I agree with the other comments: HDR is getting to be an overused technique. Iceland is so beautiful in its own right that you don't need to be doing all the false-coloring, HDR work to oversaturate and make your pictures look eerie.
We were just in Iceland a couple weeks back and I can attest to the fact that there is a lot more to see than just farm equipment, churches and close-ups of the bridge at the Blue Lagoon. How about the *natural* beauty of the mountains, waterfalls, geysirs, glaciers, etc.
Our photo set, for example is here:

- MCCULLAH, on 08/02/2008, -0/+1i like it!!!!
- valkyries, on 08/02/2008, -0/+1these + piclens = awesomes
- OrigamiRonin, on 08/01/2008, -0/+1Some people like the overdone effect. I usually don't. I prefer HDR images where you don't even know it is an HDR picture, but then who am I to make artistic choices for someone else?
Hopefully as more people become familiar with the process the "gee-whiz" factor will die off. Maybe then we will see more people making creative use of it, and fewer people just doing it because they can. - Philbert, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1Bad CG maybe.
- Zoojeff, on 08/01/2008, -0/+1omg thats wrong

- bj00rn, on 08/01/2008, -0/+1Well, they are definitely "pics", not photographs.. They WERE photographs, but no longer. So in a way they are CGI, only bad CGI.
- outopian, on 08/01/2008, -1/+2These defiantly fall into the tone mapped category. HDR, not so much.
