Understanding HDR

[BAD WOLF]

Can someone put me straight on the subject of HDR.I've seen on other threads that say you need 3 different exposure settings for the HDR to work properly.I can understand the reason for this,but i've seen a few action shots like cars etc,shot in HDR.If that is the case then they must be getting the HDR image from a single shot.There's no way they are able to get 3 shots with different exposures on an action shot the subject isn't going to stand still and wait to be captured 3 times.What i want to know is how do i get a good result from using just one shot,i hope this makes sense as i'm still a bit green around the gills.

2 ways... use exposure bracketing (Nikon takes 3 exposures at different stops from a single shutter actuation I'm led to believe, Canon you have to click 3 times) or take a single RAW image and expose it a stop up and a stop down in Photoshop or other editing software.

Can't one put the camera in burst mode to get it to bracket three shots automatically (when bracketing is enabled, that is)?

yes

Yes, but not with a single click... (on Canon)

Ok let me clarify, with a single prolonged click, but if things are moving quickly, like grass or clouds in the wind, you will still have misalignment of the 3 exposures....
