My small zoom kit lens has some play in the end of the barrel. Is this just a product of the cheap lens or is it a defect?

I know most HDR is taken with 3, 5, or 7 exposures and then combined in a software program. Can the separate exposures be taken minutes or even hours apart?

I will be traveling to Terlingua Texas to cook in the Terlingua International Chili Championship at the end of October. Are there any key photography areas in Big Bend that I should make sure I hit? Any other suggestions?

Just wanted to post a couple of pics (from an iPhone OMG) of my D3100 in the Flipside 200. I also have my Manfrotto 190 strapped to it, although I did use a small bungee at the top to stabilize the tripod. The camera and zoom lens fit well.
