I don't really like HDR stuff, it looks wrong to me. Audio people
complain about much the same thing: the over-use of compression, which
lets you hear everything, even in the car, but is tiring on the ear.

I wonder how much is just because we got used to how film renders
light... pictures like these two

would not have surprised painters living before photography any more
than photography did.

Most examples now over-use it for effect, but I can imagine that
milder versions will creep in slowly, as one more tool for better
contrast control in colour. With slides you had none, scanning print
film some, raw-processing more, this is the next step.
