That's cool! What's your workflow? I've done some quick tests with auto bracket and photoshops' HDR tool that didn't turn out too good.

Hi workflow is UFRAW to convert from RAW to TIFF of which I use one RAW image to extract 3 TIFF images at different exposures, one over exposed +1, under exposed -1 and one neutral one. I then put the images through Photomatix pro that combines and essentially makes the HDR image. I then put the image through PTlens to correct for the massive barrel distortion at 24mm, then apply mild Neat Image noise reduction, to eliminate Chroma noise only.

Be aware that HDR images from a single RAW usually reveals more noise, than just a single process.

hope this helps.
