I suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I like HER but I have to admit if it goes too far then I dont like it. I generally like what it does except for skies.

Like everything else it is a move forward. If it is not good then why are the likes of Sky brining in more and more HD channels and 3D. Is it natural to sit in your lounge wearing strange glasses and having things pour out of the TV at you. I must admit I wont be going for 3D TV. The thought of seeing something like Wayne Rooney in 3D coming out of my TV is frightening.

So like everything else there is a nitch for HDR, plenty of sites are dedicated to it or have dedicated sections.

There are times when I use just a hint of HDR and I like the boost it gives to an image in certain cases. There are times when weather or merely the location dont seem to lend themselves to a good shot but HDR can make a difference. I am not saying it can make a bad shot a good shot but at times it can boost an image and make it pleasing where once it would have been ditched.We cant always get the ideal lighting and location.   

I don't think it is a question of knowing ones limits, more the ability to advance those limits to those who wish to go that route.

It isn't going to go away so love it or hate it I think it is here to stay.
