Thanks for posting. I usually use auto-bracketing, but I've thought about doing something similar to what he's doing. I like using the histrogram as he does, as this will give your bracketed shots more detail that you really want for HDR. I'm anxious to try out the technique.

I like HDR when it's not "over the top"
Here's one done last night using NIK HDR Pro and finished with Lightroom and components of NIK's Complete Collection

Well done. I prefer realistic HDR rather than the surreal. In most cases, if I want a surreal look, there are lots of effects that I can do that are easier than bothering with punched up HDR.
I'm glad to see people using HDR for what it's really meant for.
