I am surprised you haven't found any digital capture examples of architectural photography. I have in front of me a picture sent and taken by a friend. Written on the back he says "This could only be done digitally, lots of images combined and merged together. Even the people came from four separate exposures."
The image is a square in Portugal on a beach. In the distance is a rocky headland with sunset. In the square there is an illuminated stage complete with band and singer. Around the square there are bars and restaurants all beautifully lit, including neon and street lights. People are strolling around the square. Exposures varied from pre-sunset to pitch dark when the singer arrived. Looking at your website I would say there is nothing as complex or mixed lighting as this scene. The same photographer does complex mixed light interiors of hotels using the same technique of multiple exposures.
Taking a comment from Ashley, top end 35mm cameras are producing as good as medium format film. This was a breakthrough which created all the excitement around the launch of the Kodak 14n. I think the big mistake is to think that you have to use 4x5.

But since location works often involves long time exposures, variables in

digital capture is there yet, particularly with the noise problems I've seen
with long exposures.
Can anyone give me their experiences and perhaps show me some images done
digitally on location?
I appreciate any help. Thanks.
