There are several good explanations right here on PhotoCamel, check out these tutorial threads.....
http://photocamel.com/forum/hdr-high...-tutorial.html
http://photocamel.com/forum/hdr-high...hdr-photo.html
http://photocamel.com/forum/hdr-high...5-minutes.html

These threads are found in the Photography by Genre: Critique and Discussion in the section called HDR (High Dynamic Range) Photography. There are also lots of examples from other members of the group posted there.

So I have just gotten into it. So here is what I would have wanted to know.

1. It is a processing technique which allows you to combine a series of photos taken at different shutter speeds into a single picture in order to cover a broader range of light. So details are not lost in shadows or in over exposure.

2. It is VERY easy to get a decent shot but to get a good one requires some work (like anything else).

3. It requires a post processing software (I bought Photomatix but there are several out there) which cost me USD85.

The result is great. You can make it a realistic picture or you can push it to be almost like a cartoon. It gives you a broad artistic license to play with.
