HDR photography is a fun tool for nature photographers. The image above was a combination of three images at 1-stop exposure intervals. The greens were incredibly vivid in real life and did not need any other ‘enhancement’ so the HDR was used to only bring out the full tonal range. The ferns had an interesting variegated pattern… darker in center, lighter at the tips.

Black-and-white (B&W;) is obviously not ‘real’ but we have been seeing B&W; photos for more than a century, and many viewers call them beautiful and artistic. These images are merely desaturated color images. However, if we oversaturate color images people call them ‘fake’ and get upset that the photographer ‘manipulated’ the image. Interesting…
