I'm done with HDR for the time being. It's nice to shoot a normal tonal contrast scene once again. Actually, maybe the reason that I like fog is that, if anything, the contrast is below normal and actually needs cranked up in post processing.
I'm surprised at a number of "name" pro photographers who have gone way over the top in their use of HDR - often for scenes that have absolutely no need for HDR (except to turn a photo into a cartoon). One, in particular, seems to have regressed in his "normal" photography when he takes a break from HDR - not as good as it used to be IMO. But, I guess if I were a pro I'd also have to chase every new camera, program, gadget and craze to be first in line with the latest book or workshop - or else starve.
