It's a HDR I made in HDRShop. It comes in dark and probably should be dark. After the first render, or maybe the second render, the image attached to the IBL will brighten up suddenly like in the second screen cap. It will render much brighter also. Not what I had set up at all.  I think it's some sort of bug having to do with GC and the IBL light. I have ordered Poser 10 from Amazon.ca and should be here in about a week. This problem is just one of many that I have regarding Poser Pro 2012. The program has been crap, in my experience, since Serial Update 3.
