Joe - I use the Photomatix Pro plugin for Aperture 3 to work my HDR shots. It does a really good job. The bracketing on the D90 seems daunting at first but once you see how it works, it's really quite simple. The biggest problem I have with it is remembering to turn it off when I'm finished shooting. If you want to see some Photomatix HDR work, go to my Gallery. All of the water fall, sunrise and sunset shots are HDR. Also the double rainbow, morning fog, and the lighthouse shot are HDR. I think the lighthouse shot came out really well in HDR. I'm still getting surprised at what works and what does not work in HDR. I'm still developing an eye for seeing the HDR shot before I take it. Would definitely enjoy seeing some of your shots from Arkansas and Missouri.
