nomeradona,
I actually downloaded the trial a few days ago, but haven't had a chance to get into it.
Apparently you can also use a single photo that you have altered to make three exposures.
Do you shoot all your photos RAW?

The theory is that Raw gives you the closest image to film and allows you to make all the 'developing' decisions. There is also the 'bit' (8-12-16etc.) considerations, that I am still figuring out. I still don't actually understand all the ramifications. Obviously, the next best option is tif. since the file doesn't degrade like a jpg.
Lots of questions.
Nice still life shots. BTW.

a new camera that allows me to bracket and shoot
Be careful with the camera selection. Most auto bracket features will bracket +1 stop and -1 stop only, or sometimes in half stops. so you end up with a prett narrow exposure range accross 2 or 4 photos. Most HDRI construction software allows for the combining of many images accross a very wide range of exposures. Photomatics was mentioned, I believe you can combine 16 images with it. So bracketing is not enough. You want to shoot at as many stops as you can so you need to purchase an SLR that allows you to manually set all stops accross the range that the lens is capable of or at least accross the full range of exposures you want to collect data for.

Thanks. HDRI seems to be the flavor of the month. I doubt that I will become too infatuated with it.

Thats what I'm learning in my last class. Can't wait to try it out...

Thank you for your comments on my pics and your advice, Nomeradona. I am amazed by all the beauty everyone shares every time I come to this thread. Ok, here is another humble attemp I made at composing a significant image instead of just a snapshot. This is the dome of the National Library in Santiago de Chile, March 2006. While my brother and his girlfriend were amused by the echo of the place, I noticed these paper strips hanging from the inner metal ring of the glass dome (I think they were decoration for an event or something), so I decided to eyeball the center of the room, place my camera on the floor and shoot "blindly" (I could not see the LCD):
Canon A75, Program AE mode, 1/50sec, F/2.8, can't remember the ISO, but I almost always used ISO100 with that camera.
