....I can't quite figure out these photos. Are they real pictures but doctored up in a painterly manner,.....or flight-sim photos that have been enhanced to looked like dramatic real photographs? Think I'll scratch my head on this one for awhile,...nevertheless,...impressive photos.

I think several are HDR (High Dynamic Range) shots. Look at the clouds. Now, one looked like a composite. The one with the Spitfire (I think it was) sitting on the pool table green.

They're real photos post-processed in what's called "HDR"...(high dynamic range)

Is that kind of like your old time yellow filter?

It is several photos of the same subject taken at different speed settings. In this way you go from under exposed to over exposed. Software then combines the images and draws the shadow details from the over exposed, and the highlight details from the under exposed images. This is why the clouds stand out so well and the airplane is still nicely exposed.

HDR is designed to help cameras produce photos that match what the eye can see. We can see well over 20 different shades of light from dark to bright. The camera can only see on average 8-12 levels of light. HDR overcomes some of this tonal value limitation.
