Amazing Photos

“The Independence Day” by Marko Korošec
(National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest 2014 Grand Prize Winner)

“While on stormchasing expeditions in the Tornado Alley in the USA, I have encountered many photogenic supercell storms. This photograph was taken while we were approaching the storm near Julesburg, Colorado, on May 28, 2013. The storm was tornado-warned for more than one hour, but stayed an LP [low precipitation] storm through all its cycles and never produced a tornado, just occasional brief funnels, large hail, and some rain.” –Marko Korošec Marko Korošec / National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest / Via travel.nationalgeographic.com

You can't fool me. That last one is modern day Rohan, looking south to the White Mountains and Gondor.

I notice a lot of photographers going crazy with the saturation these days. Has it always been like this? A lot of them aren't very subtle about it lol. It's practically turning into the auto-tune of the photography world.

Even phones have an HDR setting now, definitely overused

Sorry to be anal here...
I'm not sure HDR is over used. I think it's the post processing that's taken a hard left in some cases (but that's probably what you meant, huh?).

Of course, some see the type of processing we're talking about as creative results of the mind's eye (Trey Ratcliff who's work can be seen in message 432 of this thread falls into this category). "It may not be true to life, but it's what I 'saw' when I took the photograph." It's never been so easy for a photographer to manipulate his/her own work.

I meant that everybody and their dog are posting pics that use and abuse the auto-HDR feature on their phones on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, tumblr, etc. When done properly, it can really add to the photo. (as in the example you cited)
