[Leica] HDRitis?

[Tina Manley]

I spoke at a camera club last night.  There were about 50 people there.
There was a member spotlight section before my presentation with lots of
HDR - over the top - photos.  It's garish to me and I hope it's a fad that
fades soon.  Even worse was one guy who showed a photo of a gravestone -
tilted horizon, top of angel cut off - and said that it worked and was a
wonderful photo because he went up to the gravestone and asked permission
to take its photo.  Then after he took one photo - he only needed one
because he knew it was perfect - he thanked the gravestone and walked
away.  This was a guy who has been a photographer professor. I just don't
get it at all.
