The version in the blog post is created by using the RAW file format which is all the data that camera sensor records. Once you do that you go through a process and use tools like photomatix to put different exposure images together and you get one image where you can see from back to front very clearly, no section over or under exposed! In the original the sky is overexposed so you don’t see the details there.
You can also achieve this type of range of exposure by taking multiple shots of the same thing with just different exposure settings.. one will be dark the other normal and the last bright.. then you can use photoshop merge to hdr or photomatix to put it together.
I have a digital SLR myself and often shoot raw. I tend towards Bibble for RAW processing; I use Linux and it works best on that platform. You can even convert colour pictures to B&W and simulate different types of film including a really old Kodak which makes everything pretty much literally black and white (as on this one I took in Portobello Road in London). I have Photoshop Elements, but it’s been trouble to install on my Mac and the RAW processing isn’t as flexible as it is on Bibble.
Salaam ‘alaikum

Does RAW format take up more room on the memory card than jpg format?
Walaikum as-salaam,
Yes, quite a lot more! Maybe 5-10x as much.

That is a stunning photograph. And looking at some of those faces I would have to say that, yes, you just may be able to capture nur in a picture!
