I personally think fisheye lens is totally lame but then again I'm not a big photography buff. I also think HDR is homo so what do I know?

 

You think it's homo because the only HDR you've been seeing looks "dramatic" and cartoonish. Here's what some of the more nicely done HDR looks like (not mine):

Yeah I don't find the cartoonish images too interesting anymore

 

Not the average Joe has those skills. Some are really nice. Just over doing it is ghay.

 

Like owning two Mustangs, right Adrian?? Lol, just teasin ya buddy.

 

I think CaliforniaBoy and TPI Terror are referring to the over done HDR's. A real HDR style picture where the artist actually does the layering and highlighting is a truly skilled art.

The "Average Joe" like Ace said that simply use a special program or Filter to create an overly done pics, that doesnt take much skill.

I think It all comes down to how there is 1 million kids with D-SLR's that all shot in Auto Mode and dont know how actually use the camera.

It takes practice. When you start shooting things like this with no Post-Processing (Unedited) just for ***** and gigs in the middle of the night, then you know someone knows how to use a camera. Most people dont even know how your ISO and your F stop will change your need for the Shutter speed.
