You wil probably get better results with a greater range from dark to very light. You want to have some detail left in the sky in the darkest one and some detail in the darkest part in the lightest shot... myself I shoot 5 pics using the built-in exposure control. I use Photomatix Pro. Sometimes I use it with a single photo to bring up the color a bit or whatever, to make the image closer to what I saw... Cropping and other chores are done in AVS Photo Editor.

Last two.
You probably don't want/need any more by now as I'm a bit late replying but I had a go using Photomatix - hope you like it a little.

Just getting into HDR and tried my attempt at these pictures using CS-5. I got a lot of different looks.
Everyone will have their own likes and dislikes - I like these two.
Both were done with Photomatix using only the first image and basic settings without further adjustments.

I really like the light rays. I am going to have to experiment with those some
