^ What he said.
Just set the camera on the tripod, and set it to a balanced exposure. Take a shot. Now set the exposure compensation to -2, adjust shutter speed, take a shot. Now set the exposure compensation to +2, adjust shutter speed, take a shot. Now add all 3 pictures to something like Photomatix, and let it do the work.

I know with Canon there is no need to make any changes to the camera for each shot, unless you want more than 3 photos to merge.
There is an exposure bracketing setting inside of the camera. You just go into where you set the EV levels and rotate the dial and the single line will turn to three lines. THose three lines are now your three values. I set them far apart, then set the camera to a 2 second delay and to automatically take the three pictures one after another.
I will find the Canon tutorial for it.
My only issue with HDR is most people dont know how to edit them and they look like crap.

^ Same thing with Nikon. I just use +2 and -2 as a safety net to ensure it's the same exposure intensity. However, setting it to +2/-2 increases chances of moving the camera ever so slightly

If you haven't done HDR, you'll find it very frustrating to keep the camera perfectly still, even with a tripod.

Tina, you have an XTi right?
Here's how you'd do it.
-Menu2
-AEB: Set it to -2/+2
-Set camera to delayed timer
Then it'll shoot 3 consecutive shots, one at each exposure level without you needing to touch the camera.
I concur.

Finally got the shots uploaded from my trip to VIR. I don't feel like going thru the good ones to post here, so I'll just put up a few and worry about the rest later.

Here's one to make all you Canon guys blow your wads
