It’s interesting that the narrow dynamic range of the digital sensor has
sparked a renewal of extended range photo techniques to compensate for a
problem that black and white photographers have managed through exposure and
compensation development.

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 ?
