I like the vanishing-point perspective and it looks beautiful with the yellow range boosted like that. How did you get the colours to stay balanced once you'd upped the yellow saturation? Whenever I try and bring out a specific range it always messes up.

I think my problem with heavy HDR
is that it crosses the line from photography into art. But I guess it will just be one of those things that other people like and I don't. Like dogs, or small children.

I don't know, I'm not much of a philosopher
and I'm certainly not trying to force my beliefs on anyone (or even myself).
But I always feel a little cheated when a photo has been excessively altered, but still passed off as photography. There's a little voice in my head that goes "oh - so it didn't actually look like that?".
But at the same time I think long exposure shots that reveal what your eyes can't see are the fucking best thing ever.
resembles objects in the real world, but they are always constructions even with 'straight' photography. You have to consider the photographer made choices at every point, even to press the button at all. Your average photograph doesn't even represent the contrasts and lighting as we, as humans, see them, since our eyes and brain are far more sophisticated and complicated than CCDs or chemicals, and all HDR is is an extension of that.
Photography as an art form is far wider and nebulous than most people realise. Pigeon-holes are meant to be broken out of and rules are there for the bending.

the difference being it's done, at the time, with a camera
as opposed to done later with photoshop. not that i'm saying it's a bad thing

Does this make a real difference?
Many people will cite Ansel Adams and his mates as 'real' photographers who didn't arse around with pictures (like the pictorialists who mashed up pictures from loads of negatives), but he spent hours adjusting, burning, dodging, etc. his images in the darkroom.

i don't know what you are saying there, but it sounds like a contradiction
(reali'm not happy 'til you're not happy,
Sun 15 May 2011, 10:35,

My point is that
photographs have always had 'post-production' done to them to various degrees (ie darkroom stuff, messing with the photo itself) and so the argument that Photoshop stops an image being a 'proper' photograph isn't completely valid. I will agree that the lines between photography and graphic arts are now VERY blurred, but in any form of art being able to fit things into categories is not always the most useful or productive thing

No, I think the argument about the

ah, you replied
non of this makes sense now however, i never intended to be productive when i expressed my opinion and i'm sure most photographers wouldn't give two hoots what i thought about post production. my opinion is, for clarification, photography: pics developed as the pic was taken. pic manipulation is not photography
(reali'm not happy 'til you're not happy,

the keyword there is "developed"....
the darkroom developing process will always affect the final image to some degree (colour, contrast etc) with the developer manipulating these factors in order to produce the developers desired result.
doing it in photoshop is no different in that respect.

only to a certain degree though
my point is art is art, whatever it is, including phtography. photgraphy is a photograph. if it has to be edited with a computer it's simply no longer a photograph

are about hanging something nice on your wall.
However, I realise I'm mostly devil's-advocating here since I'm more of a fan of more deeply conceptual art stuff. Wow, I'm pretentious.

i really don't care at all, i know nothing about art, apart from the cliched, i know what i like. For me, art is about being something to enjoy, or to provoke emotions. photos and photoshop (amongst many other media) both do that for me
