Nice pictures and a nice camera (my dad owns that same model), but sadly none of those could be considered HDR, as although they have nicely exposed skies, they are completely under-exposed in the foregrounds - you can't make any detail out of them :|

For a image to be considered an HDR, details need to be revealed in both the shadows (in your case the foreground) and in the highlights (clouds).

Here's one of mine that I did in the HDR sticky:

Detail in both the shadows in the rocks and the highlights in the clouds are preserved.

HDR is quite fun and does take some practice, so good luck, hoped this helped and hope to see some more :)

Cheers, yea I'm still fiddling around with it :)

Have had bad weather and only caught these morning and evening shots.. But believe me the darkness is real and was like that when the last 3 pictures were taken.

Thanks!
