HDR is super-cool. A challenge, currently, is that it only works with static subjects, as multiple exposures are needed. A second challenge is that current display devices and output media have far less than even 7 EVs of dynamic range. The first problem, at least, can be addressed via technology. I have heard rumors of the development of HDR digital cameras, capable of capturing an entire scene's worth of data all at once. This is very exciting to me. Imagine being able to shoot without worrying at all about exposure. Set whatever F-stop you want for DOF and whatever shutter speed you want for motion-stop or blur. Then shoot away and don't worry about under-exposed shadows and blown highlights. Choose your curves in post-processing. Voila!
