Monochrome film photographers routinely handle well over 16 stops of light.
Digital ... not so much. They resort to HDR techniques like this:

I judge these to be quite beautiful but ... they don't look "real" to
me. To my eye they seem more "surreal".
So, here's the question: Is this a byproduct of the digital manipulation
process OR are we so used to seeing color without a lot of dynamic
range (even color film is pretty limited by comparison to B&W) that
when we see a full dynamic range color image it seems "fake".
Discuss amongst yourselves..
