in essence, it overexposes or underexposes dead easily. Well before the human eye.
So you take 2 or 3 pics, expose 1 for the sky, 1 for the ground, and 1 inbetween, then you get funky HDR software to merge it together. That gives you an image where you can see clouds, sun, detail in the shadow. That's it basically.

without fireworks to be honest dude. I'm not discerning any detail I might be missing, just a big absence of what?
I appreciate you are a photographic guy, like me; but that's simply lost on me

unless you have the world's biggest flashgun. That you can't see what I've done makes me think I've done it right tbh.

but I could get the same on even the most basic modern SLR; assuming you can fuck about with the ISO enough, and a reasonable lens
