Is this photoshop or camera? (another howdee do dat?)

[MrCrispy]

I've pretty much only used photoshop as a drawing tool and have done VERY little actual photo editing. I have recently taken an interest in photography which is forcing me to start using photoshop for actual photos (what a concept!).

I came across this photo browsing flickr and was wondering if this was done post production or if he was using some crazy filter on his camera:

Flickr Photo Download: time

and another photo with the same effect:

Flickr Photo Download: veranda

If it was a filter I would love to know what one and if it was photoshop I would love to know how he did it.

Thanks!

To me it looks like he used the filters from Topaz Detail2 perhaps

The effect in the second photo is way over the top, I advice you not to walk that path. The first one looks much better.

This is a process called HDR: High dynamic range imaging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HDR is widely abused.
