You can also do a similar technique with a double exposure in camera, with a graded neutral density filter, stacked with the colour filter.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattgarner/498016050/ It's all the rage now on Flickr and other sites.. Take multiple exposures and blend 'em in Photoshop. I believe there's some sort of plugin that does it for you.. When I first saw these images appear on the Web, my first instinct was "damn, that's impressive" until I would flip through the rest of their portfolio and realized that not all the images looked like that.. Then I did some digging and realized it was a gimmick. Unless you are a photojournalist, or someone who prides in presenting images that have not been modified in anyway, I think the rule of thumb is to push it until the viewer knows something is fishy. I'm sure getting decent skies can be done through double exposures etc.. That's fine. http://www.picture-box.com/Resources/Barry-Thornton-1.jpg Is he using just a filter to hold in the sky and the ground ? J --
