A photo taken at Nippori Station in Tokyo with a Nikon D80, looks remarkably close to something you’d find in a video game. Matter o’ fact, it is **** hard to tell the difference now. You be the judge:

That didn't appear to be real to me at all. Sweet pic though...

Its in HDR. Photoshop allows you to take multiple exposure and use parts from each in order to get as much dynamic range as possible.

I've used for taking photos of a house for sale to correctly expose the inside of the house and out the window view.

Looks like Photoshop/ Paint shop pro.

hdr = high dynamic range
basically you take the same picture on multiply exposure levels and overlay them. This increases (ya you guessed it) the dynamic range of colors.
Photomatrix is probably the best program out there right now but cs3 does it too.
