HDR in a seascape is piece of cake. Just shoot the skyline and below
as two different exposures (or develop one frame two ways) and blend
them together). No trickery that hasn't been done to death in a
darkroom. I did this with Cibachrome in the "good old days". Now if I
do it with a computer program it's all of a sudden some sort of black
magic? I don't think so.
