These look fishy to me. But I guess I could just look at them as if they were Jerry Uelsmann pix.

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 ?
