by Gavin Seim: Most of us need a little therapy now and then. I decided it was time to stop the grueling labor and have some fun so I made this little video for the Seim Effects site. You’ll get something from this video. A laugh, a cringe or at least a little Déjà vu. If you visit the post on Seim Effects you can even download the ugly presets for free. Enjoy.
thanks I just download them and converted all my images, posting to flickr now…. instant hero :)
Thanks for the great laugh and the new preset to play with!!
For some reason, I couldn’t sense the sarcasm…What happened? Not an HDR lover? lol
Really enjoyed the jokes! I too am going to be a HDR Flickr Mastaa! :)
that is awesome. You have just single handedly saved the photo industry! :)
I dont get it? Neither funny or helpful? I’d love to “LOL” too like the others.
Absolutely screaming with laughter, tears running down my face funny. The things only the pros know!
So you make fun of people who generate HDR’s on Flickr by creating a preset that looks similar? I don’t see the point. If you want to complain about how crappy they look then go ahead, but this is just a waste of everyones time. A more constructive approach would be to create a proper HDR tutorial or how to get a similar but less over the top effect in LR. You may already have that at this website, but honestly I was just surfing through the first page and found this – and now I will be leaving the site. Yea, HDRs are way overdone, and they look horrible most of the time. Don’t worry about it – improve your own work and look just that much better then the people who do this.
I love it! Had me groaning and going, “Yup. I’ve seen that.” I once saw this HDR shot on Flickr where the sky was literally purple! http://www.flickr.com/photos/rorysykes/4538733491/in/pool-himom
