It's normal to use just the chanter to learn a tune or practice fingering. The
full instrument is designed for outdoor use. Preferably a fight, where they
excel at rallying the troops and frightening the enemy. I much prefer the
smallpipes for their pleasant tone - plus you can sing as you play.

Mike - in 1958 I interviewed a bagpiper named George Armstrong.. on my
college radio folk music show.. I met him because his wife was a cousin of
my best friend and she arranged it... He played what he called was an
rehersal instrument.. the stick without the bag on it :-)

I love bagpipes and banjos - though I'd prefer not to hear a full
bagpipe in an enclosed space..
Playing the war pipes indoors is a pastime invented by heathens to patronise
sassenach tourists.
The small pipes are for indoor playing.

I agree. HDR is a tool that enables artistic expression.
Arguably so are bag pipes, banjos and accordions.
I saw a jazz band in New Orleans once that had all three.
Just as a painter can resort to a pallet knife in lieu of a brush, a
photographer can employ different tools to achieve an effect. I like
the shot you singled out.

I think some or most are overdone in post editing. Most if not all

Some of them are good. Some of them are awesome.
HDR is Ok if you can do it so it's not obviously HDR, but even the
ones that are obviously HDR are a style ... even if they're not
quite to my taste.
I was particularly drawn to this one:

Notice what he's using to fish with ...
When I got the chance to go to China, one of the things we did was
a cruise down the Li River and I saw many boats like this one. And
my one regret from that trip was the photo of the man with a pole
across his shoulder with two Cormorants sitting on it.
I regret it, because it's the photo I absolutely missed that I
should have gotten.
