Ken- I`m starting to come around to that way of thinking now too- HDR is trying to be too artsy. Probably there`ll be less of that kind of shot here, especially as I now have a flash. Glad you got the ball rolling on the USAF post! Jason- Yup, good points, and Trey is the master it seems. Not sure if I`ll play with HDR much more now. We`ll see. Geoff- Otherworldly, right, that`s one thing I like about HDR. It is a bit fuzzy, and adds hyper-real texture. I quite like that. Bunch of Fives- Thanks for the thoughts, and a mixture of both you shall have :) Chris- Ha, excellent. Cheers.

I'm not anti HDR full stop, but in this instance I prefer the straight shot. I enjoy a mix of straight and HDR when looking at your haikyo shots as a bit of darkness and shadow adds mystery for me and contributes to the feeling of immersion, while some of the HDR is really dramatic which I like too...

It's a bit over done but it really works to give the place an otherworldly look. I thiink it works well with a post about exploration. The straight picture might work well in another context. Why did you choose to use it? I really like the shot down the corrugated roof at the tower. Sounds like a great place to explore and climb around. I voted for the HDR.
