You can tackle that by shooting in RAW format, then in PP create different TIFFs with different exposure settings from a single RAW file: say 3 TIFFs 2 stops apart, or 5 TIFFs 1 stop apart. Then you blend/merge them using HDR technique to create an image with well-balanced contrast.
I must really suck as a photographer... I have never gone to this much trouble to get a decent image. Most of the images I get out my may camera ( when I expose them properly) look better when I tighten up the dynamic range ( pull the blacks & the whites in, in levels)
