HDR Tutorials and some pretty cool images

I love HDR, its really fascinating the results you can achieve sometimes.
Yeah - first time I heard about it I knew it was something I'd want to play with. :) So far PhotoMatix Pro (ver 3 now out) is my number one pick but they mentioned another (mac only) one called Bracketeer that looks really easy to use.
 
Another attempt:



I didn't really plan to make this into an HDR, but with just about everything in the shadows of buildings (I only got into town by around 20:00) and the sky still pretty bight, it's just about impossible to take a picture of anything without blowing out half the image. HDR to the rescue...
 
This might be a total n00b question, but what exactly is HDR?

Im guessing "High Definition Rattle-Stabalizer"
 
Its rocks my boat if its done well. Ill check it out!
Thanks for the link
 
Its pretty cool but the results arent all that impressive if you ask me (This High Dynamic Time Range Im talking about). And are you prepared to stand around all day for one of these shots? Im not
 
What happened at the bottom? Lens flare on one of the shots?
Not too sure, maybe you can make it out.

There is no obvious lens flare on any of the shots but even at +2 the wall was perfectly exposed. The problem is that +2 is the limit on my camera. I only noticed the red flare (If thats what you want to call it) when playing around in photomatix. Some settings made it terrible, others reduced it a little which is what I have done.

Here are the individual shots, check them out and maybe you can diagnose the problem. Have a go at making your own HDR with them if you want, it doesnt bother me.
