Photograph and Camera talk

I didn't wanna come off as a dick or something, HDR is just something I generally dismiss. Too much hideous shit out there, but there are definitely situations where it makes sense.

no not at all…i love feedback, no matter if pos. or neg. as long as it is constructive, its all good ;)... wasnt into HDR at all as i saw the first pics over at sufu, cuz i didn`t like that "spacey" look and do miss the natural look of the pics...but somehow some pics just look good after the "normal" editing as well as editing with hdr imo...

I've never been one to take photographs in my years of life thus far. However, being forced to do so–albeit, in a very crude manner--for selling purposes and also having the pleasure of taking in the beautiful efforts of, well, she who need not be named (^) has me thinking that it could be an invaluable necessity when looking back on my life when I am grey and decrepit. That being said, what would you consider to be a quality introductory camera? I'm very big on durability as I am impatient and clumsy and thus tend to, well, break things…on occasion…

I have come across these great depression era color pictures a few times and every time I am amazed with them.  The clothes, the people, everything…Not sure if anybody gives a shit but who knows:

Nice pics everyone!

As the article doesn't link to it, I thought I'd mention it: The LOC has a flickr account and a lot of these pics are available in full res! Just follow the introduction underneath each photo.

@Finn666:

^just looking into it and its one of the first hdrs i took/edited…so yeah...have to decide myself if i lik'em or not

finn - are you taking multiple exposures and combining, or just one exposure and using software to provide all the effect?

[Finn666]

^2nd one is what i`m doing…

[laxlife1234]

It helps to take 3 exposures or just shoot 1 raw photo. The only thing I find with raw photos is that if you are above 400 ISO, you get a lot of noise, but that is just me personally. I would rather shoot with 3 exposures but if you don't have a tripod it is hard to keep the pictures in line.

Also as for programs a lot of people use photomatix (it merges multiple images, and then creates an HDR image then you post edit it).
