I just bought a new camera, and it's a pretty major upgrade for me. It's a full-frame Canon 6D! The 24-105 f/4 L lens came with it too, so that's my first L lens. I'm super excited about it all!
Also, I've put together an HDR image that I'm really happy with. I've just dabbled in HDR before, and never liked the results. This is different. There's some serious potential with the new method I tried. Here's the result:

If it doesn't look like HDR to you, that's a good thing. You're probably thinking of those crazy haloed, gray-cloud-studded images with eye-searing color and no negative space to rest your eye. Just look up "hdr" in google and you'll see what I mean.
This is similar to the panorama work I do pretty regularly. Instead of stitching images together in a line though, this method stacks images on top of each other and aligns them. So the Audi image above is made from 5 shots I took, handheld, over a range of exposures. The idea is to retain detail from the deep blacks all the way to the brightest highlights. Then when editing, I can pull out that detail where I want it. It's pretty cool stuff, if handled correctly.
