Am I a hypocrite to dislike HDR but not infrared?

When I first learned about HDR, it seemed like a great way to rescue all that shadow detail our eyes see but cameras don't. But now it seems to me that it's only used to create garish, unreal color saturation. I was discussing this with a friend of mine who does wedding photography (she only does HDR "off-duty") and she asked me about infrared and said I'm a hypocrite for liking infrared but not HDR.

    HDR with garish unreal colors by over-processing is just one way HDR is used. If done right, you can achieve very real looking results as well.

    Infrared is completely different from HDR, so don't feel hypocritical for preferring one to the other.

  • i dont think so, we all have different things we like and dont like,
