I took a friend who was over visiting for the Web Summit down to Powerscourt Falls [Powerscourt, Co Wicklow] yesterday. He took an extraordinary photo on a most unextraordinary day. Bloody tourists always making the place look great….

Correction: he took a photo and murdered it with HDR.
+1 million. hate these effects.
Nature is gorgeous, why make it look like a bad rendering with HDR
+1 spaghetti and Jess
People wont be happy until they make reality a video game

It looks like something hanging behind the counter in a chinese takeaway
Well at least they got a “nice” picture out of the websummit.
I came ready to leave a scathing comment about HDR, but I see there’s no need. Nice work everyone. I hope Jack learned something here today
+1 how dare he? Like, we are already being flexible enough allowing digital photos, but HDR? Come on!
Yes, I did learn something today.
1) The Irish are never fupping happy until, well, they’re just never fupping happy
2) There’s a set of Broadsheet readers that would rather stare at another scandal or protest rather than a photo
For all of you photo geniuses out there, the production of this photo goes far beyond HDR. He used a combination of multiple Adobe packages and a specialised app to control his Canon’s shutter speed to get the effects that he did. You’s can crawl back into your misery boxes until the next travesty presents itself to be miserable about.
So it’s not a photo really is it?
It’s CGI.
Nothing miserable about saying how I it.
If you said check out this cool image my mate produced on photoshop from photos he took at this location I’d have thought to myself, this guy knows his stuff but I don’t give a sh1t about fake crap.
Well someone clearly doesn’t like criticism.
And what does ‘a specialised app to control his Canon’s shutter speed’ even mean? Is he using a smartphone or an actual canon? And so what if he did a lot of completely unnecessary post production, its a nice angle, a nice subject, but ruined by HDR.
Go easy on the crankies Jack, I heard rumours that they intended to boycott colour photos next.

Jack,
That specialised app that controls the camera’s speed is not an app at all.It’s called ‘bracketing’.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracketing
So it was bracketing, which is the fundamental ingredient in HDR.
‘far beyond HDR’
It doesn’t matter how many rags you use, you still can’t polish a turd. “He used a combination of multiple Adobe packages”
I believe there’s a subreddit for this, something along the lines of r/shittyhdr
I know. We’ll capture this beautiful view by rendering almost unrecognisable.

cant say c*uts? how about whingy arseholes
Sad to say, but broadsheet only posted this shot as click-bait.. brutal HDR
10 years ago same people looking down their nose at HDR were getting all moist about it…. photo just not hip enough this week..
