Ok, this is a pic I took strictly because the one on the right is good looking. It's from an art show I was hired to do videos and photos for. This isn't even a good pic, just wanted to share a little wealth. She was bad in person. French and Jamaican :wow:. Trust, I think I caught her when breathing hard, her stomach was perfect when I was talking to her.

The World, but from BK
Bros y'all ever get hired to do any jobs by females, and they try to put moves on you afterwards? I did some kids shoot for this chik yesterday and she was coming at me hard. She became mad into me when she found out my ethnicity and shyt. Something that kinda bothered me about her on this shoot- she kept complimenting how pretty this white chik..all the other chiks were non-white and weren't getting praised like the white chik was. Oh, the chiks who hired looks good too. She black, think she not trying to have fully black kids. This is her:

..had to conceal her face cause she works for a big designer company. And I think i'll get more work from her.

Are you taking multiple exposures of each pic, you should be taking at least 3 shots. one at normal exposure, one over exposed +1 or +2 and one under exposed -1 or -2 try to have the under and over be same i.e -+1 or -+2.

From the looks of it you are only shooting once and trying to HDR it, this can be done if you shot it raw, but you will need to taking it into Photoshop or light room, and take the regular exposed shot, and then drop the exposure down 1 and save as a new pic more, and do the same again and up the exposure 1 and save again. try to save them as a PSd file or a tiff.

Most of your your pics dont look HDR you just added noise to them, but photshop's HDR is hard to use if you dont know what you are doing, I would recommend a program called photomatix pro (it's $99, but can be found free if you try to).


Most cams have a setting that will allow you to take 3 photos in a row each at different exposures quickly, I only know how with a canon DSLR tho..try to find your setting....but just in case you did use 3 photos, then you need to try a different program to merge them

I don't do it that way. I take one photo, import it into Photoshop, change the exposure levels in there, and then tinker around with the photos in Photomatix Pro.

Yeah that was one of my suggestions, idk I guess I like more of the surreal look with HDR :yeshrug:
