If you want to learn how to do over-the-top HDR nature photos
(hey, I
said IF!) then this page... won't help much:
http://camerapixo.com/resources/10-step-processing-technique
Every step is so vague and general that it tells you nothing,
but my
favorite one is step 9, which reminds me of this old New Yorker

Painfully inept work!
Someone posted a link to it on Facebook. I literally thought it
was a
joke at first.
It looks like some kind of millennial vanity press. If you don't
know
how to make a Blurb book of your own, you can pay these guys to
do it
for you.
Also, send them $99 & they'll send you "Press Credentials".
Indeed. I hadn't bothered looking at the rest of the site but you
appear to have got the gist of it.
Well crap, I can make my own press credentials, I was forced to for a
paper I worked for at one time. No one ever questioned them.
But consider... would someone SO CLUELESS they can't even figure out
how
to make a Blurb book for themselves be able to make them?
Ah, I see now! It's a Dunning-Kruger-based marketing strategy!
Could be. But is marketing the result of Dunning-Kruger or are
Dunning-Kruger individuals the target market segment?
I get the feeling that Dunning-Kruger couldn't be being used as a
marketing strategy, because someone here seems to realize that they
don't have any skills.
However it does seem to be a particularly "small con" Diploma mill.
Press credentials not issued by the venue you're attempting to
photograph in are particularly useless even if issued by a legitimate
news organization.
Not everyone who wants to be a "photojournalist" can actually find a
J-O-B with a real newspaper. These pseudo-press organization
"credentials" are for the purchaser to use to try to finagle credentials
from a venue.
Dunning-Kruger comes into play because they're aimed at those on the
margins whose skills are too lame to DIY them.
