Looks quite clever. Must take a massive amount of processing?
Have you ever noticed that movies and TV cameras always seem to capture a much higher dynamic range than our dSLRs? Next time you're watching TV or a movie, think about what's in the scene and how the lighting is. I'm not talking about studio shots where the lighting is all controlled, more like outdoor scenes in full sunlight.
I've often wondered whether it's the cameras they use do have a greater dynamic range. Some shots they may use filters for the sky for example, others I know they'll use screens/reflectors to soften harsh sunlight on actors or whatever. But take a midday sun shot of a city, sky and highlights are not blown, yet shadows between buildings can still make out detail.
