That's very beautiful. It looks pretty seamless too, to me.

I have a hybrid workflow; shoot analogue and develop my own, then hi-res scan and print digitally.
I have tried using high dynamic range imaging. See:

The difficulty I've encountered is lining up my negatives digitally. Though some software does a reasonable job, close inspection reveals a reduction in sharpness from any of the original frames.
My guess is that overlaying negatives in an analogue workflow is equally imprecise.
Just my $0.02,

I don't think we should belittle d***l photographers
for tackling techniques like this. While photoshop
makes it a little easier than some of the former film
techniques it does not greatly reduce the time
involved and it only slightly reduces the effort and
skill required. It still takes skill, patience,
previsualisation and dedication to good technique to
get it right. Perhaps the only thing that d***l
really does change is that it makes it somewhat
cheaper to learn by experimentation. I applaud anyone
who is taking their photography beyond the snapshot
stage.
But perhaps this is straying too far off topic -
apologies to any grumpy old farts who are offended.
Cheers,
Nicolas
