^^^ There's lots of tutorials online on doing it. One of the requirement is that you need Photoshop or something like PhotoMatrix.

I'm still learning on how to do it... I'm not even sure if my pictures are completely HDR since I noticed some sides of one or two of my pictures are still a bit overexposured.

an easy way to get HDR effects is:

take 2 identical shots, each one with different aperture settings. blend the sky/backgrounds together!

im lovin your retrofit but it looks like you have fogging in your passenger headlight!

basically you take a number of shots trying to capture the lights and darks of a certain landscape. By adjusting the aperture settings for each shot you can manage to recreate a really cool sunset or just make a menacing picture like above. HDR photography is hugely popular on the internet, yet many inexperienced photographers come out with cartoon-like images that really don't utilize the wonders of this skill. The pics above are a perfect example of what HDR should look like...

btw HDR = High Dynamic Range
