Double Exposure

[Wazu]

Is there a name for this technique? I took two photos at different exposures, one for the sky, one for the ground, and put them together using a program I had to write myself :S

A few glitches around the water, but other than that, how did this turn out?

Not too bad but the foreground is so messy it's hard to tell if it worked or not. Sky doesn't look bad at all. Good composition and color.

I hope you didn't spend a lot of time writing that program as this is a fairly common technique to deal with dynamic range issues in Photoshop.

Thats the thing, photoshop is expensive :p

Foreground issues are because I had to rotate the image due to the tripod being 2 degrees off-level. The originals had the problem of the sky being white, or the ground being black (literally), so it worked as far as that goes.

Would this be considered HDR?

Yes. High Dynamic Range, and it seems pretty popular these days. Check out:

You could try the GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/). It's free, open-source and has lot of plugins available.
