Nice what program are you using? I've been playing with it in CS2 but the results seem limited. I here Photomatix is top notch for this though

They aren't my shots

, OP asked for any HDR shots lol, and these were some I had on my laptop. I'm still learning to make quality HDR shots myself

Ive been trying to do this with Photoshop and I cant get it at all. Anyone got advice how to do this?

first off, what version of photoshop are you using? second, the best advice I can give you is to pick & choose the type of HDR you're looking to do. If you want to do artistic stuff like the classic cars above, I suggest taking at least 7 shots of 1/3 EV +/- normal and merge them in photoshop. If you want something a little less artistic and just want to cover the range, take about 3 shots of 1EV +/- normal. This is an excellent example:

also, I know this can be fun and some shots actually look really cool in an HDR effect but please don't overdo it so it loses it's creative appeal. there are plenty of people who try it, post it as HDR and the look/feel just get's lost. look at the first page of "HDR" shots on NASIOC (link posted above) and you'll see what I mean. Not one of those is an example of HDR...I think people just tried getting creative with the contrast/saturation tool and failed.

CS2 and I'm not looking to over do it, just want to be able to do it then move on to the next goal

photomatix will probably do a much better job than photoshop, though I haven't used it. the HDR merge feature works even better when you use RAW files.
