Had some similar questions on another forum, I'll paste in my reply from there. There's a fair amount of processing, but nothing exotic. Its mainly just a case of treating the land and sky as seperate layers, adding lots of contrast and finishing off with a little dodge/burn/paint with light.
"Had a few people ask for how these were taken, so here goes -
All shot with D200 and Sigma 10-20 and a 10 stop ND filter (except #6, which was shot with a CPL). 30 second exposures for most of them (so using a tripod obviously) with aperture adjusted according to light, and manually focussed to a vague approximation of hyperfocal distance. This was just because I was too lazy to use bulb mode!
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 12 were shot in the evening with the setting sun on a bright day, whilst 4,5, 8, 9 and 11 were shot the following day which was overcast and had a very diffuse light.
Most of them then had the blacks, contrast and saturation boosted in RAW and WB adjusted according to taste. #6 and 10 had no further processing done except resize/border.
The other colour shots had the sky and land worked on in different layers, with the overlap erased afterwards. Most of the processing involved further boosting of contrast, and selective dodging, burning and paint with light action.
The monos were converted to grayscale, then duotoned (something I'd never used before). Again, contrast, burn, dodge & PWL.
Less than 15 minutes processing per shot, i would guess."
