I made a mistake and set the bracketing to +3 0 -3 stops. The software suggests +2 0 -2 bracketing. But nevertheless, I like it. I'll upload a color shot of the same scene when I get one ready. It's a nice effect. It lightens up the shadows and really makes the highlights pop.

Here's the enhanced color version. I like a more natural look. This is a little overdone. (oops, slightly diff. version - same day same setup - just diff. view)

That pic has a nice feel to it.
I actually just started playing with HDR myself this weekend. The two pics above were run through the HDR Pro plug-in in Photoshop Cs5. I only went +/-1 stop.

Have you given eBay a try? I'd take a look at what they are going for on there. I just sold a couple of lenses and came out pretty good.
I actually sold a 70-200 F4 for more than you could have bought a new one for at the same time. Buyer beware in that case. Couldn't actually believe the buyer went as high as they did.

It's my last resort since they double dip when it comes to fees. :tiphat:

Is that plug-in built-in or is it third-party?

I was thinking the shot of what looks like the Capitol building might have been enhanced a bit. It's a pretty shot.

Just out of curiosity, why are you selling/upgrading gear?

It's only a temporary setback. I plan on getting a better set up once things get back to normal.
