Isn't the point of HDR, the fact that the camera's dynamic range is too small? So in one shot you CAN'T get the shadows and highlights that you would get if you took separate shots aimed at shadows and highlights. Then you overlap them and get the full range your camera was not able to get in one shot. Or can you edit the RAW image to pull out the shadows and highlights?

If I'm wrong, please do say so...
As Apache0c said, RAW does not lock down exposure settings so you can get several exposures of the same image. I don't think it's 100% ideal but certainly works as I think is fairly obvious from the picture?
