I would also add that the flicker image that you referred us to, did look
like it was a little less than precise as to the dodge and burn on the
bridge.

IT is a whole new way of exposing and imaging; HDR. High Density Range. It
really draws on existing ideas. Early photogs would do this because their
film simply was so bad at seeing blue, two exposures would be made; one for
the sky and one for the foreground. As film got better, then the filtering
techniques could be used. Today we have Photoshop and other imaging tools
that allow combination of negs that in the old ways, some here would no
doubt call a PITA.
As for slide films and transparency film, You can pull the heck out of it if
your primary concern is density range and not color. You can fix most of the
color later with proper print and use of the color head or now with scanning
and PS. Again filters are still a possible answer to start with and those
can be either full coverage or split filters.
Masking techniques were around long before PS.

You can also do a similar technique with a double
exposure in camera, with a graded neutral density
filter, stacked with the colour filter.

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.

Is he using just a filter to hold in the sky and the ground ?
