Great video but I don't agree with your thoughts on using a flash. Built in camera flashes are horrible I agree but if you don't use a flash you will have blown out windows almost all the time unless you shoot at twilight. The only option to get a nicely exposed image both inside and out is to either use an external flash bounced off a ceiling/wall or to take a HDR photo and blend them.
Yes, I agree about using a tripod. It slows you down, but it isn't a race and you need to ensure that the verticals are just that – vertical. However, most of the time blown out windows should be avoided. Not only is it distracting, the flare from it bleeds into other areas softening edges. Occasionally I will blow a window to hide a factory or busy road opposite, but most of the time I want to show what is outside; beautiful garden, or country view. An excellent reason why a professional photographer should be booked to shoot the property.
How can you say "Blown Out Highlights" DONT matter??? They look terrible……They distract away from the room itself and there are so many ways of compensating for this without losing the impact of the original image.
that is exposure compensation for flash only; for over exposing or under exposing your speedlight…..you use bracketing to over and under expose frames without flash….and you don't correct color balance by changing your white balance to cloudy you should be adjusting the actual degrees kelvin of your frame…..actual daylight is between 5200-5700 degrees kelvin – the higher on the scale the warmer the shot will be….never use cloudy or overcast settings for such adjustments….actually you should really start by getting the proper white balance of the room by carrying an 18% grey card shooting that and adjust your white balance from there….or using the drop brush to select the whitest object in the image..then start adjusting the warmth of your shot by adjusting the frames temperature. This is why agents shouldn't be shooting their homes, it should be left to someone who has a degree in photographic arts and knows what they are doing.
thank you are great
You realize you can actually white balance for the light in the room properly right?
Always want bright. expoture up. tripod. turn flash up.
Thank you for making this video.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing
Good for beginners. But the next time I see ISO 800 on a tripod and no flash being used I just might fall out of my chair.
cloudy white balance can ruin your photos hardcore .
Its good info however its aimed toward a beginner.
Nothing worse than an agent who uses terrible pics to save a couple hundred $$. I recommend using manual mode and an f-stop of f8. If you have a DSLR, then it should have manual mode and you'll have much better control of your exposures much better than using EV. If it doesn't then use exposure compensation.
ISO 800? Jeez my boss would kill me
I don't care what anyone says this seriously just helped me out a lot!! It's 10pm and pitch black and I tested a room out with a 2 second exposure and the room was so bright and looked decent!! Thank you!!!! If you wanna laugh, I didn't realize I could do a le without nd filter😳😳😳😳😂😂😂
Good video but I have absolutely no issues using my Speedlight on TTL. So I'm assuming your talking to novice shooters or only on camera flash users.
thanks a lot, this has assisted me a lot
good work here! thankyou for taking the time to create these tips
nice video man, thanks, so good to see a hot photographer for a change LOL
Hey that's the exact tripod I have lol…
Nice video for dummies, good work
Just saw this video for the first time while I was brushing up on techniques to get my photography business under way, and wanted to let you know how good this was for anyone to watch. I've added your video and two more tips that fell right in behind with the direction you were headed: http://bit.ly/1hvjHer. Great video!
Nice tips. Quality and interesting photography matters a lot and if you are a property photographer you should take it seriously.
Best video ever!
Thank you so much Steve, very helpful. On a Canon T3i, would I shoot this in auto with no flash or manual and adjust?
blown out window????basic photo 101 no no…
Any realtor selling dungeons, call me LOL!!!
burned out windows don't sell in europe… extreme important to see what's outside
Thanks for the tips Steve, I found them very hopeful. I shoot all my short sales personally, so this goes a long way!
Super stuff. Truly. Excited to give it a try.
Appreciate the tips. Never heard them before.
