I am by no means a professional photographer. And I am no HDR expert.

Your article is very well written. I did not know about those "HDR" techniques that date back to the 19th and 20th century. Very, very interesting!

I see HDR in two different ways:

1) HDR as a way of artistic expression.

2) HDR as a means to deal with the camera's inability to catch a picture like our eyes see it.

I have no problem whatsoever with HDR as a way of artistic expression. I love the vivid colors. I love this look into a fairy-tale world full of warmth, full of color, full of perfection. I love the surreality of some HDR shots.

Sometimes, I do have a problem with HDR as a means to deal with photography's insufficiencies. Because it is very difficult to find the right dose. It is difficult to get to the "realistic" result. My favorite HDR pictures are the ones nobody has identified as being HDR.

Again, thanks for this article!
