I like using HDR. Its an interesting and artistic way of playing around with your data. Used well, it works well.
I'm still very new to it , but playing around with the settings entertains me to no end
I really like the idea of HDR timelapse. This
link for me showed what potential HDR has when shooting scenes with a lot of contrast ( ie the bright doorway and low light interior.)
Its a long winded video ( but educational) and found that it is true that when looking with your eyes you can see the details in the dark areas as well as the bright areas. When the camera take a shot, you might not get the view your eyes see...... but with the HDR it "resembles" what you see with your eyes (thats my opinion), and that's what I like about HDR........Maybe I should start a web site " ilikeyourhdr"?
The video is a step up from single shot HDR...and some, but ...well look for your self.
I use Photomatix, and it works for me.
Here are some pix I took just trying some bracketing and using Photomatix. They are really not the best, but I am just trying and having fun. I personally like some of them, but would not put them in a contest.
HDR an Non Hdr shots....sorry they are a bit mixed up...
