Critics say, "Oh,, It's got that bright pumpkin orange everywhere..." THANK YOU!! I've been watching your videos and reading your books for years now, looking at your desktop monitors, and noticing the same yellows I also like! So many are desaturating the yellow to a cream - I hate it! I've just stopped contributing to FB photo groups because of the critics. My clients LOVE my twilights and I owe much of that praise to your teaching! Thanks again PhotoScholar!

Thanks Nathan! Which DSLR and MIRROR LESS camera you recommend in 2024. Please also suggest the lenses 🙂

I had a lockbox the other day and the client requested twilights, so I had to do all the basic prep work. But they also asked if I could remove the 2 piece spa cover which was pretty heavy and inconvenient. Took time away from me taking the photos. What would you do in that situation? Do you say something to the client?? Thanks Nathan!

Great video mate

Curious if you do any twilight exteriors involving flash? Mike Kelley, among others I'm sure, is kind of known for this. When doing that style you really can only do 1 composition.

Thank you for the video, sir

Thanks for sharing all this fantastic info.

Nathan, can you post/publish these images somewhere in order to be able to follow along and practice?

I shoot primary HDR. In some instances, there isn't enough light in dark corners. I just purchased the Speedlite EL-5 (refurb from Canon) to learn and use Flambient technique. I look forward to learning more from you Nathan.

Is that Kris kardashians house?

Amen

I know cropped-sensor cameras aren't ideal these days, but a Nikon D500 with a Tokina 11-16 F 2.8 DX II has been serving me really well. I shoot a lot of sports on the side so having the speed of the D500 and the extra reach from the cropped sensor definitely helps. When shooting real estate, I use the articulating display screen on the D500 in live-view mode, which works fine and doesn't seem to drastically drain the battery. For someone who shoots more than real estate, I would recommend this setup as a low-cost, versatile option.

What's the main reason I don't see anyone doing real estate editing through Cameron raw instead of Lightroom? Thank you

You’ve been my biggest inspiration in wanting to pursue RE photography. Thanks Nathan! I’m in Florida, what do you think about the guys that are shooting brackets and using an editor? Seems to be a lot of that over here. I like your style the best coming from a landscape photographer background it just resonates with me

this was gold; more like this - you could do market analysis for real estate and that would be very valuable - I'm an engineer and realtor and find this very interesting and helpful - Cleveland numbers are very skewed though because there is a large part of the city is very poor and most of the middle class lives outside of the city.

Very informative and to the point! Thank you for sharing!

Affinity has also recently been acquired by Canva, so who knows what is going to happen there.

So true regarding a circular polarizer. I occasionally use them for landscape photography but if you use flash they aren't necessary in RE photography and while they may reduce a little glare they are detrimental in other areas. Also trying to decide how much polarization to use or when to use it or not use it takes up time on site. Yet so many RE photographers say they never take it off.

Great advice! Can you do a similar recap foryour current recommendations for video?

Also I'd like to add: rather than buying a very expensive tilt shift, get a drone. It's cheaper and much more versatile than a shift lens

I learned a new word!! FUTS around...😅

Thank you for all the information 🙏 I just have one question, Every video I watched in the topic of real estate photography, they said you must have a cpl for real estate and I wanted to buy sigma 14-24 but because it doesn't support cpl I changed my mind to sigma 16-28, I wanted the sigma 14 for the wide end of it and for the build quality, what do you think?! And do you have any video about the topic of editing reflection and glare without using cpl ?!

Is firefly free though ??

How do you make your windows look so pretty!! I live in the Tropics so the light is always harsh ... but I just cannot nail my window shots. :( AMAZING WORK!

4rm the UK, a free version would be appreciated. Essentially to test it out n decide if I wanna get the advanced version!!

Hey Nathan, off topic comment here, but this thought I had made me think of you, maybe it would interest you. There is a neat AI video to video tool by RunwayML. Maybe it could be used to virtually stage a video of a vacant home or create conceptual design for remodel. In theory it should work for that or at minimum its a cool creative tool. Cheers

Outstanding - I've been editing my first RE photo shoot of a model home and was wondering how to do this. By the way.... I'm an ARNG veteran as well - Ft. Benning school for boys - PVT to MAJ 21 years. Love your reference to "Battle Drills"

Not only Luminosity, but a different new tools for me to work on!

APPRECIATE YOUR VIDEO...Very COOL, my brother! :) THANKS...

How many photos did you deliver for this shoot? if there is 9 bathrooms I can imagine there is probably alot more rooms that need photographing as well.

I have had challenges keeping interior reflections out of the window pull shots. What’s the best way to keep interior reflections out of the window framing?

In your videos, I don't see any windows with curtains and net curtains! What kind of flash technique would you use to highlight the curtains and net curtains? Your KZbin videos are a real source of inspiration.

Arca Swiss charging 1140 for a tripod head is a situation of charging that much because they can, not because its worth it.

This is great Nathan! How many images do you typically deliver to client for a house like this?

Amazingly thorough rundown! But why did you remove the cat?! Was this requested by the client? Also, is it best practice to remove animals/pets from homes because of prospective buyers (pet allergies, safe-than-sorry)?

Arca-Swiss D4 absolute best, I even bought 2 ... one down side is that they will not tolerate being dropped.... so watch out !

Hi Nathan, as always, awesome video and I always love the detailed workflow explanations. I was wondering if you would forget the cat, but you didn't! Please let me know when you take the window pulls, are all other fleshes off? I also noticed you used 18mm on most of the shots, do you find 15mm is usually a little too wide, or does it really depend? Thank you!

Great work, do you have any video diving more specific about the window pull?

Three legged thing L bracket, solid as a rock. worth every cent. I've decided to go for the K&F head. great review...

I am wondering what the differences are between cloudpano and Kuula, that made you not even consider the latter. I am just starting out and have experimented with both of them. They are very similar, and I found Kuula to have a more smooth editing experience, and cloudpano frooze up a few times.. The pricing however for the monthly subscriptions 49 euro (cloudpano) vs 24 dollar(Kuula) a month. is a big difference when you are not charging any hosting fees yet.

Thank you boss man.
