Having never captured images for HDR or edited for the HDR look, I was mainly just interested in experimenting with what I could do to the images and if I could create something that I liked. Personally, I really dislike over-the-top HDR photos as I think it makes everything look way too cheesy and overdone, but at times a bit of this effect can look nice. I was not going for the look where everything was evenly exposed, but rather make it so theres still clearly some contrast and depth to the images. Even though I’m not a huge fan of HDR, I do like that so much more of the image as a whole can be played with and I can make more drastic edits without sacrificing quality.
