What is High Dynamic Range Imaging?
Normal Cameras can capture a dynamic range of 6-9 stops
By merging multiple exposures for highlights, midtones, and shadows using HDR software, dynamic ranges of 10-15 stops can be captured in 32 bit images
HDR images however, cannot yet be viewed as Monitors and Printers cannot display this dynamic range and 32 bit images
Tone mapping is used to compress the dynamic range into viewable form

Example from my porch
If exposed for outside the window, inside is too dark

Taking Photos for HDRIWorks best with a tripod
Take multiple photos
Focus should be same (manual focus)
ISO and F/stop should be same
Vary either speed or aperture to change exposure between shots
Limit as much as possible anything moving between shots as this will create ghosts in the final image.

Without a tripodIt is possible to do HDRI without a tripod
Use Auto Exposure Bracketing along with continuous shooting mode, i.e. three shots in one second, all with different exposures
Brace yourself as much as possible or rest your camera on something.

Basic Adjustments
Strength - Start High. At end, lower to taste
Color Saturation - Much overused. Use restraint
Luminosity - Controls how bright shadows are
Light Smoothing - Smoothes transitions between tonal areas. High is more like a photograph; low more like a drawing (posterized)
Microcontrast – affects contrast in small detail
White Point – Sets white upper limit
Black Point – Sets Black lower limit
Gamma – Sets image overall brightness
