Would love to know how those night-time pics Unc posted were done, either in a hot-air baloon on a very still evening, or one big fuck-off stabalising system from a helicopter!!
Taken from a helicopter whilst using some hardcore 3 gyro stabilising system...
Why do you find those photos so offensive? Those pics particularly or are you not a fan of HDR as a whole?
Just for the record, I find those shots offensive. Fucking awful. I think in ten year folk will look at much of this era of photography as a fucking joke.
If you don't like the effect then that's fair enough but you can't just dismiss it as not being art or a joke - that just smacks of photo snobbery
I does look like a fishtank i agree but shurely it can't be?I'm amazed how close it is to the bottom - so precise.

That is a very cool kingfisher, amazing detail, you can even make out the membrane over its eye so it can see underwater.
