The first two images here are HDR images of "my type".
<http://www.chucknorcutt.com/Barnstable_2008/>
They're built from about 8 exposures 1 stop apart.  I think they're 
pretty close to what I could see with my eye but the camera couldn't. 
On exposures where the sky showed a modest amount of color the 
foreground was almost completely black.  When the foreground had some 
detail the sky was completely blown.

I like the way PhotoShop HDR works now that I understand it.  The 
resultant 32 bit image has so much range that you can only view it in 
brightness "slices" since there's no way for the monitor to reproduce it 
let alone a print.
