Hi I have just purchased a 5D MK2 and want to try and produce some high quality HDR prints. ( topside ) Do any of you guys have any links to articles or maybe be able to give some advice to achieve good HDR results.

There's no dignity in diving. Especially as you get older.

Photoshop (CS4, CS3 also has it I think) also has HDR capabilities, but Photomatix Pro is very good and worth it.
You may want to look at these threads
HDR
Waterfalls
Panoramas
General List
I started getting hooked on HDR, it is fun and makes you look at things differently, like finding shots you do not think would otherwise work but for HDR. And I find myself often taking many 3 shot series.
Book Jeff Recommended to Me
EDIT: Had wrong link to the book, sorry

The first book I read was High Dynamic Range Digital Photography by Ferrell McCollough. It reviews the different software packages, including Photoshop.
The other book I have is The HDRI Handbook by Christian Bloch, also good, gets a little more technical.
Nikon D800, Nikon D7000, Nauticam, Inons, Subtronic Novas. Lens collection - 10-17, 15, 16, 16-35, 14-24, 24-70, 85, 18-200, 28-300, 70-200, 60 and 105, TC's. Macs with Aperture and Photoshop.
