I'll admit, Apple's examples of HDR were pretty stunning, but for those of us in the professional photography world, we often cringe at the term and its popular use. Usually, most HDR photos are cranked up to maximum color saturation and horribly tone mapped. It looks roughly like what I'd imagine one would see during a bad LSD trip.

Apple's examples seemed to strike a pretty good balance and works in a similar way to how some of the new HDR apps in the app store work: Take 3 separate photos at different exposures and then merge them.

For their portrait examples, I wonder how fast the camera can take photos? Slight movements while holding the camera (or movement of your subject / model) can introduce some horrible fringe and make it hard to resolve lining up various exposure layers.

Anyway, it's something that made my ears perk up during the keynote and I noticed it hasn't been discussed much since this morning!
