As an example of #2 above (single shot, processed in 2 ways), the attached examples demonstrate it.
The shot was taken during mid-morning with bright sunshine, lots of contrast. I used program auto mode (P), with fill flash, and the camera metered on the tractor, so it overexposed the sky.
The first attachment shows how the shot came out of the camera.
But since it was taken in RAW, there was still some data able to be recovered. Using my RAW editing program (Raw Shooter Premium), I reduced the exposure and curves so that the sky had detail. You can see though that the tractor became underexposed (attachment 2).
The 3rd attachment is the resulting image after blending the 2 images in photoshop. For this one, I copied the the bright image on top of the dark image as a layer, and created a clipping mask. I used the magic selection tool to select all the areas of the sky, and then pressed delete, to reveal the proeprly exposed sky from the layer beneath.
Hope that helps!
