John Nack on Adobe : (rt) Photography: Crushing overloads, HDR moon, & more

This insanely overloaded truck seems like a metaphor on wheels, crying out for inclusion in a Demotivator. [Via]
Here’s a pair of striking photos from India, courtesy of Emanuele Nardoni.

Superfly dragonflies & avian stylings come from Conrad Tan.

I love how the overloaded truck photo has the tag “katamari.”

I hate to validate such an unconstructively negative comment, but I must admit I agree. It has that awful, sickly look of “HDR done wrong” that is unfortunately all too common.

That moon picture is a JPEG, and thus not HDR. JPEG does not support the storage of HDR images. You need to look for EXR or another format that can store high-dynamic-range images.
