I need some pointers when trying to take a nice picture with HDR. Tips, tricks, or anything I should know when utilizing this feature?

Simple, get the phone as still as possible.

And use it when you notice a huge difference in brightness. IE: something under direct sunlight and something under a shadow.

Contrasting, that's the word I was looking for.
Here's an example, first shot without and second with HDR. Its Cancun, Mexico.

Here is an example as well.




Early morning with low light but it can lead to some dramatic photos.

I don't know the exact term but sometimes the sky turns out 'smoky' especially during sunset. Any idea why or how to counter this? I like how it evens out the exposure but the dirtiness/smokiness of the sky spoils it for me.

First one without, second with HDR:

You'll also want to avoid taking HDR photos of things that are moving because it'll create ghosting (double images basically).
So:
1. Keep the phone as still as possible.
2. Keep moving subjects and background to a minimum.
3. Use when there's contrasting lighting. Ie. A sunny day, but the tree you are shooting is in shadow. In the view finder you see both the shadow and bright area.

The camera on 10.3+ has auto suggestions to help know when you should use HDR.
