Lightroom 6 was just released. I moved to CC, installed and immediately tried out the HDR capabilities. I like the fact that the resulting image is still a raw file (DNG) with all the flexibility that it brings. The results are quite natural looking as well. This was easy for a first attempt.

I've been wondering for a while why no one supported something like this, maybe a 32-bit RAW with data populated from multiple regular 12/14/16-bit RAWs to allow a ton of flexibility in the regular LR workflow.

yay for a natural look instead of a photomatix look
Most definitely agree. Ghosting control is also quite nice especially for a scene such as this where the water was obviously not standing still. Shutter speed for this image was 1/4 to 1/10s in the series . . . long enough to show movement but again, ghosting is nicely controlled.

Thanks Phillip! Interesting, in particular the bokeh comment. Smoother on the 28/2, do you have any opinion if it is as contrasty as the 2.8 (the bokeh)?
it is less contrasty on the FE. I will publish a blog post about it tomorrow, but the images are already up if you want to look: https://www.flickr.com/photos/96189377@N08/sets/72157651675336208/
