The eye does not see the whole scene at once. If you are looking at the
darker part of the forest your eye opens up and you see more detail and more
subtle contrast. When you look at a bright area of the scene your eye closes
down to see the highlights. What Ed is saying is to make a photograph that has
both areas rendered as the eye see them which is some sense a heighten reality
that the eye can not comprehend in one look in the real world.
I have seen a detail photograph that have a tremendous depth of field
feeling that was created using 13 different exposures. It literally seemed to
have more depth than the real scene.
