    Becki, I've shot interiors for several years but found your video very informative. I really like your fast pace delivery - no wasted time here! I've recently been using LR HDR but I was surprised by your comment about editing them after the merge. So I went to Google and learned something very interesting - in the Basic panel if you drag the exposure slider on one of the original raws the range will be -5 to +5 stops. If you drag the exposure slider on the merged file (which is still a raw) the range will be -10 to +10 stops which is huge increase in dynamic range. This is great to know. Like another poster here I would like to hear any specifics you care to share about your edit process on the merged file.

    • @BeckiandChris
      @BeckiandChris  Před 6 lety +5

      Jerry Norman thanks so much! Maybe I’ll put together a video on how I edit a tough one from start to finish. Usually only do a little exposure/hightlight/shadow adjustment, then white balance and making sure the colors look the way they do in person. I usually let the windows blow out a bit because I like that look.

    Great little vid. I’ve shot a couple of interiors and came here for some reassurance I’m in the right ball park. One thing I didn’t know about was the hdr composit in lightroom. I didn’t know you could composit then edit. That’s awesome. I have zero photoshop skill so this is really gonna help. Your photos are incredible. Thanks for your help!

  • @DeadGlassEyes
    @DeadGlassEyes Před 4 lety +1

    I like to keep my tripod at just above waist height, of course that also depends on how tall you are. I'm 170. For kitchen shots its generally a good idea to boost the tripod height a bit more as kitchen counters are set higher than couches, tables, etc.

  • @footballtexas3008
    @footballtexas3008 Před 5 lety

    Great video 👍🏼 I’ve been a Real Estate photographer for a few years. Have a flash with you at all times. Why? Because some homes you will shoot may not have electricity and bathrooms and closets will be difficult. I combine flash and ambient shots as layers in photoshop for the most part. Take your time at the beginning, try different angles and photo techniques till you find what works best. Get your post processing workflow down to a reasonable amount of time otherwise you are losing money. Attend open houses and speak directly to realtors to market your services. Please make sure there is no one there since you don’t want to interfere with their work. Let them know why you are there, don’t mislead by asking to look at the house. Bring your portfolio on an iPad or tablet to show them. Bring business cards! Do charge extra for twilight shoots, any drone work, sky replacement etc. Don’t forget pool and landscape businesses need photos also 👍🏼

  • @markhardycreative
    @markhardycreative Před 5 lety

    I’ve been shooting architecture professionally for just over ten years this is One of the very few interior videos I’ve seen doing a genuinely good job. I like the way you think and explain the shots. I also use almost entirely natural light for the reasons you explain. The only difference is I use one exposure and capture one which exposes more dynamic range than lightroom.

    • @BeckiandChris
      @BeckiandChris  Před 5 lety

    • @RICHARDWATSONPHOTO
      @RICHARDWATSONPHOTO Před 5 lety

      Mark Hardy hi mark bit late to the conversation. I have an interior shoot coming up and also use capture one. Do you use lights combined with natural light or just one daylight image and then bring into capture one? Do you find that works ok?

    2) multiple exposures for hdr photography, how you determine amount of under and overexposure, etc.
    3) ideas for managing cramped spaces, maybe with panorama stitching?
    4) 360 degree shots

  • @vaidotasdarulis
    @vaidotasdarulis Před 5 lety

    I like that you also have this approach of capturing both wide angle room shots and smaller details with a style. We often see this very fronted architectural perspective style which is getting very repetitive. Having wide angle, a bit closer furniture shots and small details fragments/decor is what I love doing the most. Would like to hear ideas on using people in the shots, usually they are in motion, but it get's boring fast as well. :)

  • @happispaces

    Curious if you find yourself really using the ability to open up to f/2.8 all that often with the 16-35 v III? I suspect you open up to 2.8 more for your video walk throughs when needed in darker rooms? Curious what your thoughts are on going with the 16-35 f/4 at a much better price point? I guess I'm just struggling to justify that extra $1000 for that 2.8 stop, and if it really saves the day all that often with your shoots. Looking to buy one or the other.. Thanks for the time you spend on your videos. Great material.

    Great video. I shot a friend's house recently. Free, and he knew it was my first time. I was terrible. He wisely got a pro. But I learned a lot doing it. Reassuring to see that a lot of the things I tracked for "in the future" line up almost exactly with what you've said here. Sure, theory is one thing, execution is another, but I think I'd deliver a much better product next time.

      @mdsolutionsonline2515 Před 5 lety +1

      +- 2stops is ideal if you are only shooting 3 images. Gives you more range to work with, in either direction as you can pull back a +-1 from though images in a lot of cases.
