Adam - There is a photoshop action that will increase the dynamic range of a digital photo to 10 f stops. It is beyond anything you can do with film. http://www.fredmiranda.com/DRI/index.html You are supposed to use a tripod for best results, but I have used a similar action with hand-held shots and it works fine. Just expose for the highlights, expose for the shadows and combine the two in Photoshop.
