There is an excellent article on HDR by George DeWolfe, "Dan Burkholder: A Personal Portrait of Disaster" in the most recent CameraArts. He goes through Burkholder's entire process step-by-step. Dan uses a Photoshop Lug-in from Http://www.hdrsoft.com called Photomatix Tone Mapping Plug-in. This lets you adjust the 32-bit image for optimum detail and contrast.

Ferguson Emily - That's what PSCS2's HDR -High Dynamic Range - is made for. You'll need a tripod and you'll need to take at least three exposures, one for the shadows, one for the highlights, one medium - but you can include many more. Read more about it here: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/hdr.shtml I don't usually use this since I photograph people most of the time, but I hear it is fantastic. Have fun!
