Taking HDR to a whole new level...

I like it. 
HDR video accomplished using dual 5D Mark IIs, is exactly what it sounds like

Are you ready for a wave of HDR to crash over the consumer electronics industry, leaving nothing but oversaturated photos and full-to-the-brim Flickr groups in its wake? We've got a sneaky suspicion that Apple's inclusion of HDR in the iPhone is one of those telling warning signs that you ignore at your own risk, and now we've got HDR video to cower from behind our fast-aging current gen devices. As you might expect, HDR video looks just like HDR stills (an underexposed and an overexposed image combined into one), except in motion. The effect has been accomplished by Soviet Montage Productions, who used two Canon EOS 5D Mark II DSLRs and a beam splitter, which allows each camera to look at the exact same subject, to accomplish the effect. They're short on details on the post-processing end, but we're sure there will be "an app for that" before too long. Sample is after the break.

i don't like HDR... well... i don't like how people over use it... kinda defeats the point of taking a picture when reality is given a virtual feel. photography should be about capturing the moment. not cool effects and alterations.
...but anywho.... i'll be the first to say it...
BRING ON THE HDR ****!!!

i think a true photographer is one that strays away from post editing and gets it right the first time depth of feel, white balance, lighting, focus, the works. and a master photographer does no post editing and puts thought into everything they shoot (meaning, subject, composition, etc.)
