As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beeholder, who usually gets stung and tends to let go. :)

I feel a lot of great photographers fly under the radar because of the way they go about to market themselves. I feel they should take those great photographs and submit them to as many social sites as they can (with a watermark and copyright!!) to get a little more exposure. That, and being lucky helps.

Personally, great photography (if that is what we like to call it) are those shots that I can pull out from the drawer after so many decades and still tells me a story, fresh like it was back then. It is one that conjures memories that tugs at my sleeve/heart. No matter what photography technique that was applied, the great ones have more than what meet the eyes.

I agree- HDR is way overdone and as a 20 year pro traveling the world to capture amazing shots, many think it's easy and fun- sure it beats a ton of jobs I could be doing, but by no means is capturing a great image easy - and luggin' tons of gear is just as tough- but when HDR is done well as you mentioned, it has it's place- here's one I did last week in Yosemite: http://twitpic.com/10s57y

I think one problem is that EVERYONE is a photographer these days...whether they've taken a class or it's a serious hobby, or they shoot snapshots with their cellphone...so people see a shot like the winogrand and think they could shoot it, where as the HDR requires a little more technology. It's hard for all these 'photographers' to step back from 'i could do that' and appreciate the context, skill, and beauty of a great photograph. BUT it's good to have so many people making images and experimenting and looking at images...it fuels the creative fires.

Michael – great article! I appreciated the comparison of the two images; I've seen very few HDR images that I actually liked. I guess I'm more of an “au naturel” type. And what a fascinating experiment with Josh Bell (and kudos to him for agreeing to it). I used to be a violinist myself, so this was pf particular interest to me.

Paul – shout out to another Pomeroy! ;)
