Sorry, I don't know about HDR lenses.

But I think that Photoshop is now becoming necessary. People no longer want photographs with natural flaws, only newspapers want original pictures, but most buyers will like for a photograph that has a punch of interest and that can easily be done in Photoshop. It is true that if you have a great photograph then you might think that nothing else can be done to make it better but once you discover Photoshop and all the effects you can do you will always discover some effect that will make your photo just a little better. It also depends if you are freelance or working for a company. If you are freelance you probably just get away without using Photoshop but if you work for someone they might want you to retouch something about the picture with Photoshop.

That picture was done with Photoshop. You might be able to create something similar but not as powerful if you really look into the settings on your camera. Play around with the shutter, tonnes, and other features that your camera has built in.
