Have I finally lost my mind, or are there a good number of HDR
"enthusiasts" on that site?

HDR today with the improvement in software is not the hideous thing of
just a few years ago, and can be useful when needed. The "Merge to HDR"
feature in Lightroom/ACR is very good at producing great balanced
32-bit images from RAW.
Then there are a few others which produce quite remarkable images
without a hint of the nasty glowing edge, over the top stuff of the
past.

I posted that only because on a quick look, a few of them looked a bit
garish. I have no issue with HDR itself. And someday I'll take the
time to calibrate this monitor, even though I use it mainly for text.

As always there is a time and a place for everything, and as usual
individual taste comes into play.

Try these two 5 shot -2:-1:0:+1:+2 exposure brackets using the good old D300S.

The question I ask is "Do you want to capture a scene or create a
scene?"

I wamt to create an appropriate image with the tools I have at hand, be
it a scene, or a capture.

The farmhouse creates a scene, but the Bugatti is captured.

...er, OK!

Yup!
That information is also in the EXIF data.

Create, or interpret the scene. Not that either is a bad thing. this is
not street photography.

Some of the photos with overdone (IMO) HDR were taken with quite old
model cameras, in some cases where the original ex-camera EXIF data is
readable, it seems that some of the photos were taken years ago.

I guess when posting photos in a thread with a subject like canyons,
then people might select existing "popular" photos that they'd posted to
image sharing websites rather than rush to the nearest canyon with their
camera.

It seems to still be a trend with real-estate photographers, pushed to
cartoonish extremes. That doesn't appeal to me, but must work to "catch
the eye" or otherwise the agents wouldn't get them to do it.
