This can be used to good effect in pictures of houses to create an inviting warm glow. The only real tricks to this are that there is only a relatively narrow window of time (about 10 minutes) and that you may need to manually set your camera's white balance to "sunny" (which will cause the blues of the sky and the yellows of the artificial light to get intensified).

- How to completely remove noise from your photos, this article describes a technique whereby two exposures are made of a scene, the exposures are separated by a 4 F-stop gap and then the darker areas of the first photo graph (which are underexposed and noisy) are blended with the second photograph (where they received 4 F-stops more light). The end result is to eliminate "noise in the shadows". I thought this was the process that others were calling "high dynamic range" photography. [4015]
