I was somewhat intimidated by HDR and its reputation (especially the really over-the-top garish stuff), but this video makes it both comprehensible and attractive. I bought and downloaded Photomatix on the advice given, and it's great. Normally I'd be wary of a third party product being advertised, but Photomatix makes it easy for someone who's never done HDR before. Great suggestion and excellent video.
