HDR's a fun effect, I think
You're right though, it's really overused and usually by people who want you to say that they're a great photographer when, really, they just know how to use Photoshop.

I'm much more impressed by people who can use the actual camera to produce effects, rather than editing software.

they don't even know how to use photoshop properly
photoshop is a proper skill, too, they just hit a couple of buttons they think will work

I'm just far more impressed by people
with practical, mechanical ability. Probably because it's where my own modest ability lies. I'm nothing if not self-involved.
