I'm interested in the concept of HDR (ie multiple bracketed exposures), but I really don't do the kind of shooting where HDR is useful. I've been completely satisfied with using off-camera strobes or reflectors to bring the light value range under control.
I've been meaning to try this, but I find that I can usually get by with the K-5 just having high dynamic range. I take three bracketed shots, and so far, I've always been able to dial one into good enough.
The few HDR experiments I've done I've simply used Photoshop. It does an okay job. I'm left completely cold by what people *call* HDR but which really amounts to processing single exposure shots in Photomatix with all the sliders set to 11. It's like those roadside vendor's oil paintings on velvet.
Actually they look like the "photorealistic" paintings that were popular in the 70's. So people are going out of their way to do photos that look like paintings that try to look like photos.
