Went on a little road trip round the UK a month back. Took a bunch of photos while I was away. Got some i really like, only thing was I didnt realise my sensor was dirty till I got home. All of them have annoying dirt on them. Planning on getting my mitts on CS5 to try that fancy removal stuff, but for now, figured id share a couple anyways..

Myst XI

LOL, shouldve uploaded the ones I took in Detroit last year. You couldve had GTA and half life too. Ah well...

 

For me the thing with HDR.. Since about 6 I have had incredibly bad eyesight thanks to very severe keratoconus. Up until 14 I was pretty much blind in my left eye, and my right eye isn't much better. I had corneal transplants in both eyes which has improved my vision a lot, but its still rubbish. I squint like a mole. My vision is too screwy to be rectified with glasses (they make me see well focused double vision) and my eyes are too out of shape for contact lenses. Did have Scleral Lenses for a while, but they hurt like hell and expensive. As my eyes continue to degrade, the shape and perscriptions change. Would mean shelling out +£500 for a new set of lenses each year. Cannot afford.

 

Anyways, the point is, HDR photographs give me the same feeling as I got on the few occasions when I hae been able to see properly. I remember the first time I tried Scleral Lenses, I looked at a carpet and it was the first time I could see that it was made of loads of individual fibers. I get the same kinda feeling from these pics. I understand people saying HDR looks like computer games, but compared to my eyesight, real life looks like a computer game.
