The guy recommends doing it this way instead of bracketing (especially with foilage) so nothing has changed in the image. Think he used something like 10 different exposures with .6 seperating each.

Sorry, I don't have a link or anything but the sample he did turned out really well. I haven't tried it myself really except to test the concept that it would work. Heck I just got my first DSLR less than 2 months ago and didn't even know what an HDR image was until recently.
I've tried it (funny someone else had the same idea). I abandoned it though since I found the results to be too noisy. Could just be me though, I'm not big on HDR, usually I try to make them pretty subtle; I don't like the cartoon effect that some of them have.
