It was quite cool to see it in action in Lost coast. Honestly I couldn't find any really bad screenshots of HDR that quickly, screenshots of a tunnel with a white square as exit aren't that interesting of course. Coming out of the tunnel on High speed ring in GT5 looks kinda bad though.

HDR + bloom is a deadly combination. And using it to constantly white out the sky is kinda ugly too. It annoys me to no end when I try to take a picture in real life, you can never capture the full scene as you see it, with a digital camera. Why simulate that in games.

 Fallout 3 seems to have uncanny sky. 

Agree, some of these fancy tech things may sound good in developer meetings. In reality, they do end up ruining end user experience and age really badly.
