yes - short answer is: don't do it because it's super-tacky and looks aesthetically horrid (:
but, if you really want to: hdr looks 'coolest' with scenes that have a really high dynamic range - like, there are really dark shadows combined with really bright highlights, that a normal exposure would not be able to capture. so, try scenes like sunrise/sunset, or shots into the sun with the part of the subject facing you in shadow, and so forth... of course use a tripod so that your shots will match up, and try bracketing your exposure such that you expose one for the deepest shadows in your picture, one for the brightest highlights, and a few exposures in between the extremes.
have fun, good luck, and (for my sake) give it up after a few tries and go on to shoot without HDR :D
