I'm going to have to dig into a lot of these links as I've really wanted to try HDR, but every time I do it, it comes out awful.

Something I've found is that using manual exposure blending in Photoshop can look much better and more natural than HDR. However, in my experience, HDR can make shots with reflections or wicked dark clouds look awesome.

I also prefer exposure blending to HDR.
