i think it could be cool to apply the affect subtly, so that it looks better than the original, but i agree, it looks its really overdone and fake

While this may not be a good example of a practical use of grading, I think it does a good job of showing how much influence color has in the overall tone of a picture.

color grading is nice if used in a moderate manner, sweet video though!

HDR is not color grading. The grading looked fine, but the HDR made the footage look like garbage.

It is a little over the top, but definitely shows how much difference it can make.

this obviously isn't a practical use of the effect, its just to show how much of a difference it can make. Any effect needs to be used with finesse to have it look right.

And to those who say HDR is a gimmick, it has a purpose, its just misused 98% of the time. It's purpose is to make a photo with irregular lighting actually look more natural since a camera can't handle those situations the same way our eye does. However its mostly used to accentuate shadows and highlights, that can look cartoonish when over-used.

bracket three shots (or more if you must) stack them in photoshop (I like to do medium, lightest, darkest) and then use a clear brush to erase parts of the layer you're on that need to be darker or lighter. You get the picture.

That's what HDR tries to do, but it leaves behind terrible halos and splotchy blends. People are using it to use it right might as well do it by hand, seeing as though they are actually going for a good image. There's really no reason to use PS's HDR or an HDR program unless you're going for the strange HDR look.
