what program are you using to make HDR? it's gotta be hard to make if you only get the subject in that position once for at least three shots for the editing process

I just use Photo Matix, I change the exposures in photoshop using -5,-4,-3,-2,-1, normal +1,+2,+3,+4,+5

photomatix does do real HDR's you just can't take 3 or more shots in an instant with a rider in, so you shoot RAW which has more tonal info than a jpg & you can create a pseudo HDR from the 1 shot. Taylor, you don't have to make diff exposures in pshp, just drag & drop the pic into photomatix & it does it for you. A real HDR would be of static objects where you shoot from a tripod & bracket in camera & take the 3 or more shots into photomatix & then you have a real HDR. IF you hate photomatix you're not using it properly yet.
