There are several of the guy's imagery that look HDR to me. Not the

I'm not looking at the page right now, but the Golden Gate bridge
photo is the most obvious HDR to me. The chain in the foreground is
clearly lit by a strobe.
I think it is more than a little bit deceptive for him not to explain
some of that.
A photograph should speak for itself. While we sometimes offer
explanations here, that's for discussion and enlightenment. It's certainly
not a mandate and, IMO, it's inappropriate in some venues.
BTW, I think it's much more likely that he employed gradient filters than
HDR. But either is fine with me. Again, no explanation required. The
artist's tools are his own.

Makes one think the 645D is capable of doing what he
shows right out of the camera. It is more a testament to his
post-processing skills than 40 megapixels (at least as far as web
resolution images is concerned).
