To HDR or not to HDR that is the question.
I love them. But I always here on how people dont like them. Why is that?
Is the problem that people dont like cause they are composed into a HDR and its not what was seen when the image was taken?
I think they bring out a lot from the photo. So I like them.
What are your thoughts?

I like them a lot.. it just depends on what your shooting. HDR shots are somewhat easy to do but very easy to mess up. If you wanna get them down, keep practicing and you'll get there

my only question on top of that is for the pictures you see where only the car is changed would you stamp the HDR pic over the normal pic and then remove the surrounding of the HDR pic to expose the normal pics back ground or is there an easier way?

thanks....but just to make sure ive got this understood. You take your normal photo and then some at different brighter levels and some at different darker levels. then go through the merge proccess shown?

DO a correct HDR that doesnt look like a cartoon
DO NOT do a crappy tone-mapped image though photomatix

Correction, tone mapping is a fad right now. People have been doing HDR's for a long time, but the cartoonish look has just recently caught on like the black plague in desperate need of an antidote. HDR's can be done with out even being noticeable
