I don't even know what "venture" is

WTF>? I could have sworn that when I read this post, it said "do you even know what venture is? "

Objectively it is shit. Just had a look through that flickr photostream and most of it looks like computer graphics. I mean, seriously?

A friend of mine now shoots three frames of every scene, one on one below and one above. He then makes HDR images which I have to say do look as if they have had some treatment.

They look somehow a little unnatural.

I am sure for some landscapes HDR is ideal but I think perhaps not for all.

Anyhow, do you do HDR?

No. With most people, the photos end up looking like screenshots from video games. I agree with the statement that with good HDR, you don't even know it's there. The photo by Cybertect below the op qualifies, imo.

I see 'auto' HDR as one of the features we'll see in the future - 3 or so quick shots taken in succession automatically by the camera and 'blended' at the same time - the process transparent to the end user. Well in ‘green square’ mode anyways.

This chap does some impressive HDR stuff. He does it from a single RAW file:

Compare that with this guy's stuff.

The walls on the original pre HDR shot look so much better shame that using HDR obviously means he doesn't need to focus on the subject quite as much...

I agree with Johnny - the orange car shot at the top of the thread is lovely and subtle.
