At the magazine rack, I saw at least 4 magazines this month with HDR (high dynamic range) photography on their cover as a main article inside. The articles speaking about realistic HDR vs. surreal, etc.
The book shelve has titles like Practical HDR, The World in HDR, HDR Photography workshop, Complete Guide to High Dynamic Range Photography and now, they have High Dynamic Range Photography for Dummies! I own them all...
I have been doing HDR since 2007. I use Photomatix Pro ($99) . I have tried other software but Photomatix Pro is still number 1, IMHO. HDR Soft now offers Photomatix Light for $39.00
You have to love it! HDR is nothing more than a technique to allow you to capture the high dynamic range of a scene (what your camera sensor can't do with a single image) to reveal details in the shadows, midtones and highlights!
Embrace HDR .. it's easy!
Here is an example of what HDR can do for you....
