So i've been using blogspot for a while and it's a bit inconvenient once you start accumilating a mass of pictures, but it's free so one can't really complain.

Anyone know of a more...professional like site that hosts gallery's n what not?

I like they do theirs but requires a sub.

Get your own domain & hosting? It's literally chump change cost every month.

And even without any site-building skills you can pirate those premium site themes etc. so that's no excuse. Razz

This is your best bet if you are trying to look more professional. If i were you I would just use your picasa account that you already have. This is better for showing large albums whereas blogspot is better for just showcasing a few photos at a time.

Also a question about your HDRs. Do you just convert one raw file to hdr or are you taking multiple shots at different exposures. If it's the former I suggest you look into the other method. Your HDRs will improve greatly with more exposures.

ill look into this picasa account o.0 never really thought about it.

The HDR's I normally take one raw then when I get home I open it in adobe and create the exposures there then put them into photomatix. I don't have auto bracketing on my camera so it'd be a bit annoying any other way having to constantly carry a tripod around.

Unless the Esel got some tips for me Smile

seems like an over exposure problem. if your original sky is too over exposed the conversion can't get the correct exposure for it. your best bet to fix that is definitely multiple exposures
