HDR stands for High Dynamic Range

right. i have only gotten exposed to hdr after combing thru this forum. not sure if i like it. makes the images look too "computery" and artificial. it's almost a photographic effect instead of a photographic technique. but, to each their own.

It doesn't have to be. Some people take it to the extreme in order to make it an effect, but used sparingly it can greatly increase the dynamic range while still looking realistic.

Nice shot of my hometown. Two things I would change (improve). First, straighten the horizon. Easy to do and to not do so is a bit sloppy. Second, I personally think there's a bit too much sky and not enough skyline. I am sure you were trying to capture to interesting cloud formation, but the way the buildings appear only at the very bottom of the picture is a bit distracting. I would have tilted down a bit and tried to put more of the city in the shot, maybe somewhere along the rule of 1/3's. That way, you get a bit more of an idea what you're looking at.

From my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The sun is coming from the right side. CnC appreciated

You mean like this?

I love this effect...this is by far my favorite HDR pic that I've taken.

Taken while on a walk. C&C appreciated; is there too much contrast too?

Happy New Year everyone!!

Hmm, good suggestion. I do noticed that the horizon is not exactly straight. Silly me.

Yeah, I guess the photo could look better if there is more part of the city.
I like this shot is cause the broad sky and the small perspective of the city make it look as in the city is very far away when it is actually taken from a hotel at MidValley City.

Anyway why is camera stuffs sold in Malaysia so overpriced? There is not even any tax for camera stuffs yet it is freaking expensive.

Happy New Year everyone!!!
