HDR aims to fix that by taking a highlights shot, midtones shot and a shadows shot (usually they are done with 3 at least, you can do more but 3 seems the minimum) and merges them to give all areas of a photo a good exposure, creating a "flatter" or unreal looking image. This is part of it's attraction though, some people loathe them, some people love them.

Like everything else it is subjective, some look amazing, some look overdone. I often mess it up when I try.

Richie's is a really nice example of a highly stylised one, dialled right up but not to the images detriment.

Thanks Bretus!
Mr Rich Tea, I don't suppose you took a non-HDR of the same view, as a compare and contrast? I don't think I like the look of HDR (no slight on you I might add)!

Something about the light in France, seems to accentuate the colour some how

Love that shot admin!
Apologies if you wanted to explain Richie, I was inebriated and garrulous
Wasn't meaning to tread on any toes.

My little bit of handiwork for tonight, my new leather man is a little fiddly to remove from the sheath so I made use of some paracord I got a while ago:




Way easier to access single handedly now.

I have an easier fix! Wear it upside down on your belt. Unclip and it falls to hand been doing this for 6 weeks now and so far no lost leatherman...

Impressive tying though!
