Perfect HDR without a Tripod

Hi there! As usual, it has been too long and I cannot blame the studies for being too hard. Soon I'll be enjoying a 4 day weekend! Nice! But before that I would like to share a post-processing technique that will save a few bad HDR's (High Dynamic Range) in my collection (and hopefully a few in yours). If you are anything like me, you don't like running around with a tripod or maybe you just forget it at home. But then my brilliant brain (yes, sometimes it is brilliant) thought of a way to use Hugin, a free cross-platform program for making panoramas, to align multiple photos and re-save them as remapped images. Lets see a before and after at 100% crop and then start the tutorial!
