I'm not looking for tonemapping. Last night I was trying to shoot the
sunset while overlooking the Santa Clara Valley. I could expose on the
sky, or on the valley, but not both. It is a perfect case of where two
shots, several stop apart, shot in the same fraction of a second would
be the perfect solution. I suppose that I could try bracketing and
post processing, but it would be very handy to have it in the camera,
and to have the two frames close enough in time, without camera
jiggle, to hand hold.

It's surprisingly effective to set the exposure between the sky and the
valley, take a single raw exposure, process it twice or thrice with
radically adjusted white balance (once for the sky and once for the
valley, and maybe also once for the setting you took it on), and mush
those two or three back together into a single image.

I haven't done this for sunsets, but it works quite well to get shadow
detail out of otherwise brightly lit scenes (leopard enclosures, train
station colonnades, etc.) so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
