Strong Photography - Advanced 
The color is very heightened and I can see the viberance was focused on a lot. The photos look dream like and very fantasyish. The photographers used color and turned it up to make it look the way it does. People may take these type of photos because they’re very beautiful and the catch the viewers eyes at least those who love color expressing the photos.

When I look at these photos I believe that the colors are very beautiful and rich looking and the shade of the photos look amazing in these photos. I think that the color of these images are more rich and cool looking. and the lighting of the photos are just that amazing and really cool to look at. I think that the photographer had to use a special tactic to create some of these photos and to get them the way they are. Maybe the photographer could have put people into these types of images to see what they look like. I think the reason why somebody would do this because maybe they want to do different things that normal photographer don’t usually do. I think the reason why somebody would love the HDR affect because everything would just look better than the standard photo and I think the reason why somebody would not like it because every photographer has a different taste on what they want to do.

The first thing I notice about these photos is how detailed, high in contrast, and bright they are. This makes them look quite amazing.
These look different from other photos as they appear to be more detailed, more layered, and better exposured.
The photographer took multiple photos at different exposures, then layered them on top of each other to achieve these photos.
City skylines and forests make amazing subjects for HDR photography, as there are so many shapes, lights, and objects to photograph.
I would like to do this as it would make my photos look better and more professional.

The colors are very vibrant and just breathtaking on how the photographer captured them. They look a lot different mostly because of how the colors blind and allow them to capture your eye. I feel like they used leading lines to capture this effect. Mostly landscapes and anything with a reflection. It makes a gorgeous photo if done right. Yes totally the colors may overwhelm other people.

In these photos the colors and shading are accentuated. They look richer and more vibrant. This effect is created by taking three photos of the same thing but with different shutter speeds and then combining them all together. Landscapes make good subjects for HDR photography. Everything in these photos is more detailed and enhanced which, in my opinion, gives them a more edited look. Many parts of the images are in focus and highlighted and that can make it seem like there is a lot going on. I think that is why some people love it and others do not.
