Still not understand rolling HDR shots... it seems like the images wouldn't match up unless you took them quickly. I don't think I can adjust the exposure that quick to get a good solid rolling HDR..

Can I take a normal image and lower and raise the exposure in Lightroom and then merge into HDR through PS or will it not recognize it? I found an ok way to "fake" HDR which I'm sure most of you know how but I thought it'd be cool to share for those interested.
1. Duplicate Original Layer two times. That’s how Layer 3 appears. (Ctrl+J)
2. Set the Blending mode of Layer2 to Overlay.
3. Apply Image->Adjustements -> Desaturate. (Shift + Ctrl + U)
4. Now invert Layer2: Image -> Adjustements -> Invert (Ctrl + I)
5. Next step is to add Gaussian Blur to it (Filter- > Blur -> Gaussian Blur) around 50 pixels
6. Apply to Layer3 Filter->Other->Highpass with 60px Radius.
7. Change the blending mode of Layer3 to Overlay.
8. If you would like moderate looking HDR reduce Opacity of the 3rd layer, if you’d like to give it a punch duplicate the layer.

It works pretty decent but you can tell it's not a true HDR. I am going to use this mostly on portraits and animals since it's hard to change my exposure fast enough without the subject moving.

Way overdone IMHO. Take it back a few steps, it looks like a cartoon. This process is a little difficult but once you get the hang of it, it's second nature.
nice pic
