Question On HDR

So I've been researching a lot about the whole HDR process and how you go about creating them.

I have a program that Im getting from a friend as well as Photoshop CS that I will put on my laptop once I get it dumped and reformatted.

Now I know that in order to create HDR pictures you need 3 levels or more of exposure, most using AEB which I have finally figured out.

My questions is, with having the 3 levels, can you do night HDR photos without a flash???

I love doing night photography and that is usually the time I can get out and take most pictures since I work so dang much and generally get off work at 12am.

with you needing low exposure, normal exposure, high exposure Im wondering if, 1) You can do the 3 photos in AEB mode with a slow shutter speed and if so 2) will the night time photo on a low exposure mess up the over lapping of the 3 photos in the HDR programs?

Does that make sense??

Any input on this would be awesome! I have a few places Id like to go and do some HDR pictures at night, but I wondered if its possible or not.

Thanks in Advance.

I'm not sure, but hey, you're shooting digital so all it costs is time.

true...Ive learned my way through photography mainly through trail and error from my 35mm canon film camera till now.

A family friend of ours, Bob Metzler, Bob Metzler Photographs Home Page has been teaching me from time to time so thats helped a lot as well.
