So im interested in getting into HDR photography but their seems to be a bit of a stigma around it or some sort of subtle aversion to it. This is just a view from the outside looking in but whilst they are generally approved of as being "impressive" they dont seem to be looked upon in the same light as regular photos. Am i totally mistaken? Is it because it is a relatively new technology or does it take from the 'artistry' of photography?

Or am i rambling?.........
