Eric,

I assume you're describing the light after the sun is down, or the "quiet
light" as John Sexton calls it.  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.

Ken
