I've done my share of that, but with LF cameras, long exposures and very compressed development. I have no idea if a digital sensor has enough range for that or not. But, it will be a great experiment, one I hadn't thought of since "going digital". I think one thing you need is a contrasty subject, so the tree mass may not be the best subject. Maybe HDR would work, though the jury is still out on that, for me.
