Dear Jonathan,
I agree and, moreover, the example of the bridge (wikipedia) in
evening light with the bridge lights on looked like a well timed (just the
right amount of magic hour glow), well exposed, transparency. It used to
take careful timing and good technique to achieve this. Basically Frotoshop
releases you from the considerations of time and weather. It also seems to
be much ado to achieve with digital cameras what film has always delivered
in the hands of a relatively competent pro.
CHEERS!
BOB

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 ?
