The software was bringing them in underexposed plus i was using a 3 or 6 stop ND Filter .I am still trying to learn about this and am just going on how i see the image .Any comments to help would be great thank you .

The HDR software will bring shots in underexposed, overexposed, and correctly exposed. It uses all the shots to create the HDR image. You may possibly need to increase luminoisity when you actually process the HDR.

When using a neutral density filter, you may not be able to let the camera's exposure meter calculate the exposure. The correct method is to measure the exposure (without ND filter in place) and then switch to manual before setting the exposure using a correction factor (Google to find a table).

I like the shots that look a bit more HRDish if you know what I mean. It is very difficult to get HDR to look 'naturall' so the ones that look arty tend to be more pleasing to my eyes.

Thank you appreciate your comment
