I shot this just after sun down
 
Hey Doug,

Original image, - Is keeping the two lamps in the shot part of the test to blow out the light sensor for dramatic intent? Why were these two lamps kept in your shot, as oppossed to removing them prior to shooting? Is this part of the test that you are doing?

Image 2 - What did you do to cause Photoshop to create this image? What steps did you go through to arrive at this? It really looks strange, not something that I have ever seen before.

Definitely curious!

Marshall: keeping the two lamps was intentional.

I don't know what happened with the second shot, except that it was taken later at night.
 
Doug,

I think that the 2nd shot is way underexposed and that accounts for the result. To me, a more interesting question is why does the first one exhibit a halo between the sky and the distant hills? Is there something in the processing to explain it? Are you shooting in raw? Why not do some more experiments where you do a significant amount of bracketing on the more exposure side? I think you might be pleased with the result of combining two or more exposures.

I've had photoshop do some pretty strange things also. the picture below was shot in raw then I put a pretty extreme curve on it in ACR the opened the file into photoshop, the big explosion of colour behind the out of focus flowers is not supposed to be there. No explanation of why, it did it sometimes and sometimes it did not, I restarted the program and have never seen it happen since.
