The Washington Post ran a story and published an HDR image on its front page which prompted the president of the National Press Photographers Association to claim that "HDR is not appropriate for documentary photojournalism."
I disagree.
Used judiciously and correctly, HDR can be more close to what we really see than non-HDR photos. But we have all seen images where HDR is processed way too much to the point where the image looks beyond what some may view as an acceptable photograph. In this case, I'd agree with the NPPA president.
It's an interesting debate. Click here to read a response from one of the HDR software companies' presidents regarding this.
