Dynamic range is a human concept.  You might be able to fiddle around with 
merging algorithms on board a camera or in post processing software, but 
at the end of the day it comes down to the viewers perception of the scene 
and how they want to represent it. 
This invention would be ok for survelliance equipment or any application 
that requires as much detail as possible to be captured, but for artistic 
purposes i'd imagine it would create very 'unnatural' looking 
images....whatever that means these days. ;)
Has anyone tried doing HDR bird photography?

Interesting.

If you can solve dynamic range problems with modern cameras you'd make a
truck load of money and open up a vast array of applications - assuming 
you
can maintain image quality.

Is Ansel Adams' zone system finally obsolete? I think he'd be smiling from
above if it is.
