technique - How can I stop my HDR shots looking so fake?


All my attempts at HDR come out looking remarkably fake, how can I reduce the halos effect?

The key to a good hdr photo is to use the correct amount of processing for the feel you want to achieve.


If your goal is to get the "hdr look", then you're probably doing it about right, because there should be a slightly "fake" feel.


If you are only using hdr as a method to improve a photo, then just be careful and try to under-process it. If you can't quite tell what method you used to process the image then you've probably done it right.



This is a lot like sharpening, it's best if you can't tell that you did it.
