      Canada really has some of the most beautiful country out there.

      [–]KittenyStringTheory 6 points7 points ago

      Edit: I mixed up two Glacial Lakes (Moraine and Medicine) that I commonly take visitors to, at two ends of the Icefields Parkway Highway. It's a delightful drive; both parks, and both lakes are well worth it, and I obviously am a bit of a dope. But I love me some toothy mountains!

      Story is still Funny: The Pallisades was the first thing I thought, and I came to the comments just to check. Thanks for the confirmation!

      When my sister-in-law first visited canada, I brought her down this road. It was January, and -23, and she's from a place that stops the trains when it snows. By the time we went down to Maligne Canyon and back to Jasper townsite, she thought I was Evel Knievel and Wilderness Bob rolled into one.

      It was sunny, and they'd cleared the road... but I was happy to accept drinks at her expense when we got back.

      [–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

      I think you might be confused.

      1. This area is not called the palisades.
      2. This road is a cross country ski trail in the winter, and very few people ski in as far as the lake.
      3. It's about 300km away from jasper and maligne canyon.

          As an amateur photographer, I understand your sentiments... and yet I am going to point out that such an aversion to HDR is just some elitist bullshit. The method of acquiring such a stunning image is irrelevant. The end result is what is important.

          This photo is amazing, both in content, and the technique used to present the content. Sure, it could have been an amazing photo with just one exposure, but the photographer here chose to do a tonemapped version because it looks better to them. You wouldn't be down on an artist because he chose water color instead of oil on canvas, why be down on a someone who has discovered that HDR lakes look apocalyptic?

          HDR is a technique born of digital photography, film could never achieve this much dynamism. When Digital photography started to become mainstream, people had your attitude about it as well, thinking it was cheating to get a result, when really it's just an evolution of the process. In much the same way HDR is an evolution of digital photography. You still need to frame the scene, know how to manually set exposures and press the shutter button... it's still photography.

          [–]theanzelm 19 points20 points ago

          The problem is the way he and many others tonemap it: favoring local contrast (nice crisp details) instead of global contrast (now the image has no depth anymore, everything from foreground to background seems to be just one layer).

          Then, he applied some post-fx like vignette and perhaps further colorgrading that make all the nice dynamic range useless, look at the forests - they're pitch black. Now I can live with that because that is artistic effect to achieve a certain mood, but the flatness resulting of boosting local contrast is just stupid.

          I'm not even sure this is a HDR pic, could just be a regular pic with unsharp masking (overlaying with highpassed version of image) to achieve the HDR tonemapping look.

          Just my $0.02

          [–]aleppocone 25 points26 points ago

          As an amateur photographer, aversion to HDR is not bullshit. The effect is designed to give a high dynamic range, not give everything this weird computer generated contrast with ugly halos and fake saturation. It's not elitism. Anyone with a camera could have gone there and took this photo. Still... go hide behind your cool hip technique and have fun doing it. There is a reason why you never see a photo like this in a professional magazine or portfolio.

          [–]Ftumsh 19 points20 points ago

          Thank you for saying this.

          When I first discovered HDR two years ago I went crazy and was doing the same shit you're complaining about. Huge saturation, terrible halos, bla bla bla. I thought it was artistic, then I saw that every other fucker in the world was using it too.

          I still use it occasionally but these days I tone it the fuck down. It gives a little je ne sais quoi to some particular photos where it's called for, but IMO should be used for nothing more than that. Example

          [–]DharmaTurtleSC 0 points1 point ago

          [–]DharmaTurtleSC 0 points1 point ago

          Hah! I guess a tripod would be useful in taking HDRs.

          Do you have a site/flickr you want to advertise? :D

          [–]GrumpySteen 12 points13 points ago

          HDR is to photography as AutoTune is to music.

          It could be used to good effect, but almost never is.

          [–]shutyourgob 0 points1 point ago

          HDR looks really un-natural to the human eye. Every time I see a photo using it I think 'wow, that photo looks too dark and too light....at the same time'. We instincively sense the direction of light in photos, if you cut out a small part of a scene using photoshop and flip it so the shadow goes in the wrong direction, people instantly notice it. That's why I hate HDR. If you have a scene that features a lot of shadow, you shouldn't be able to see every single detail in that shadow, and then every single detail in every light spot. The human eye isn't capable of doing that. When you look at beautiful paintings and appreciate the way artists study light and shade, it just seems depressing that people abandon natural beauty in favour of how far they can 'improve' an image digitally. They've just become completely disconnected from the idea of aesthetics. It really is the equivalent of auto-tune.

          TL;DR: You're not a bad person if you like HDR, you're just wrong.

          [–]spazmodic- 1 point2 points ago

          A fellow redditor pasted me some photos using HDR, I believe I found where they were from. Here are some examples:

          Honestly, looking at those photos makes my mind full of fuck. Like constantly between "this look like a painting" and "no, this is a photo"

          [–]s54ada5sd 6 points7 points ago

          Wow, those look like something from a game engine with obnoxious amounts of post processing and serious texture density issues.

          [–]adrianmonk 0 points1 point ago

            No, but there is nothing wrong with disliking watercolours... or HDR. I don't like it too much either.

            [–]bananamunchies 4 points5 points ago

            I'm not a fan of the picture because of the processing - it's very dark. I think it would look a lot better as it was originally.

            [–]arachnophilia 1 point2 points ago

            The end result is what is important.

            agreed. and... the end result here is actually kind of bad. the local contrast is too high, and there are strange tonal relationships that make the eye do funny things, and make the various planes in the image fight for dominance. for instance, the sky being so dark brings it to the fore-front, when really it should be at the back. keeping it light pushes it back and gives the image depth. don't believe me? crack the image open in photoshop, dodge it a bit, and see what happens.

            it's not a critique based on the tools used, but on the aesthetic result of over-use and misuse of those tools.

            film could never achieve this much dynamism.

            sure it could. landscape photographers have been making extremely dynamic images for hundreds of years, using a variety of techniques including lowering overall dynamic range. this may surprise you, but that includes multiple exposures, as well: it's just a bit harder to line things up in the darkroom.

            i myself used to use what's called "split contrast" printing, which is sort of like HDR from a single exposure. you expose the paper one with a deep magenta filter (brings out detail in the highlights) and a second time with a deep yellow filter (brings out detail in the shadows). where the two intersect, they make red, which the paper isn't sensitive to. you get images with great tonal ranges.

            other common techniques include dodging and burning (ansel adams is the guy to look at here), and even capturing images using split or graduated ND filters, to darken skies. nothing is really new in the digital arena, except how easy the technology has made things for amateurs who don't know what they're looking at, and lack a sense of aesthetics.

            yet I am going to point out that such an aversion to HDR is just some elitist bullshit

            It's not necessarily elitism. It's possible to just hate the way it looks without knowing anything about it.

            That's how I felt when I first saw some photos like this on a real estate web site. I was like, "What did they do to those photos of that house to make everything look so strange and artificial?" Then when I found out what HDR was, I realized it has a purpose and requires skill. That gave me a lot more respect for the process, but it didn't increase my appreciation for the end result any.

            [–]bovilexia 0 points1 point ago

            I have no problem with HDR, as long as you don't produce pictures like the one linked and call yourself a photographer. I've seen people who use HDR correctly, but pictures like this have been so heavily post possessed it's hard to call it photography.

            [–]MoarVespenegas -1 points0 points ago

            You don't understand. HDR is a tool. It accomplishes a specific purpose. The human eye can see and quickly adapt to large tonal ranges. Cameras can't do that, they have one exposure. In a setting with very wide tonal ranges where you want to get detail out of both shadows and highlights it is an essential tool. For a landscape photograph during a partly clouded day it does nothing. It just ups the contrast everywhere and kills the sense of space, lighting, mood and everything else.
            Just because you can does not mean you should.

              It's been over-processed, but that doesn't make it an HDR photo (or even an attempt, obviously).

              [–]Bubba-J-Murray 0 points1 point ago

              I don't think it is HDR, Looks like too much playing around with sharpness and Levels to me; Defiantly over processed though.

              Oh my, we will soon have Anti Anti Anti HDR posts, I'd like to throw in though that HDR is a very useful tool, it is just constantly miss used. It's not meant to be used to give good lightning balance to your pictures and give them a more dramatic look - That's the photographers Job! But sometimes getting the perfect exposure isn't possible so shooting brackets and using HDR to correct a window in an interior shot or restoring detail to a light source (endless list of examples).

              The way people are using it, I feel is cheating. It's to compensate for a bad exposure. My personal feels are if you can't do it in the Darkroom, don't do it in photoshop. But your picture is your picture and I'll always judge it on your terms.

              Thank you kindly for replying! Gonna have to plan a trip up there. maybe build a cabin and just stay there with my 3 wolves that I adopted. I'd grow a beard capable of weathering my face from the elements and learn how to whittle a flute from a log. I'd be known as the Banff Baron. I'd rescue hikers from perilous situations and I'd take them back to my Cabin where I would let them sleep inside and I'd sleep in a tent outside so that they will feel safer since im just some random woodsman. And then I'd wake up really early, catch some fish, and serve up breakfast for them, and as a parting gift, whittled flutes from logs. I'll send you one via Bear Cub FallacyofCausation, as a token of my appreciation for taking the time out of your day to inform me where this location is.

              -Baron of Banff

              What's crazy is my current wallpaper is from the same lake but from another angle. (Maybe not too crazy this place is beautiful.)

              [–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

              Definitely not too crazy. Moraine lake is one of the default 'Canada' wallpapers that comes with windows 7.

              [–]OhSnappitySnap 0 points1 point ago

              That is true but what made it odd was I have my backgrounds rotate every three hours or so. Right time.

              Does anyone know if this is in Alberta Canada? I think I was there 20 years ago. Are these the same mountains that are on the back of the now discontinued Canadian 20 dollar bills?

              Anything at that altitude would be breathtaking... 'cause you know... not a whole lot of oxygen up there...

              The reflection bugs me. Though framing is great, the focus is lost. So much post processing is quite disturbing.

              While all was at ease and all living creatures lived, the gods of the sky saw the rich lavishes of this world. Giants rose out of their caves in clash with the gods encountering the greatest battle ever seen. Now, heads, arms and legs of both giants and gods fell down upon the earth. And their shining blades. And men came, who took these shining blades, now man was master of the world.

              [–]shorty6049 0 points1 point ago

              Well since some people are saying that this is from interfacelift and therefore we can assume that OP didn't take the photo, I can feel less bad when I say that this looks like shit.

              WAY too much post-processing for my tastes.

              Personally, landscape photography is about showing the true beauty of nature and scenery. When someone goes and HDR's the fuck out of it like this, it just ruins it for me. I want to be impressed by the scene itself, not the processing done on it.

              [–]yelleknave -1 points0 points ago
