seen about half of those.

but WTF... they listed Agbar Tower twice! (ones as "Torre Agbar") 

I saw a poster of some picture of this guy yesterday because there will be an exhibition in Hamburg. Thought "BANG! Inspiration!".

That's pretty cool 

Yeah, I've seen those before. They just SCREAM Quake level to me. So nice. 

Those are very nice, thanks for the link.

NOTE TO PHOTOGRAPHERS: step away from the high-pass filter. Your fake HDR does not impress us. 

It depresses me, at least. 

First, a little reading - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg

that already looks like CGI! 

it's shitty fake 'hdr' 

Oh, nice arches and curves everywhere inside the station... very cool place that gives me plenty of idea for my next map :D 

Somehow that was the apex of cool technology.

I especially like http://games.tiscali.cz/images/deusex3/img2x.jpg 

we all already know this with our own eyes. Why must somebody inevitably always, always, always make a point of mentioning in the post after that something is phoney photoshopped HDR like effects? We get it, comment on the actual pictures themselves if you're gonna.

and to contribute some pictures that are unrelated to my whining.

a little bit bright for our FPS tastes, but the idea is there. 

How many times have we complained about bloom? :) 

My HDRs are far from fake its nice talking shit behind peoples backs if you have some constructive crit to give then give it 

your HDRs are fake behind my back i feel totally good saying this and not making a point the third one linked is particularly fugly sorry but i miss any contrast there it is still a nice picture the first has some serious glow around the building which screams i edited too much hello somebody
