Although I like this video, I think this video is a bit dishonest in that the W/B settings used during your comparisons were not exactly the same. The comparison settings for the MagMod were 4900/25 and 4900/19 for the Godox. Even when you adjusted the MagMod temp to 4590, you never adjusted the tint settings. Tint impacts an image just as much as the temp does. For that reason, the findings were skewed. You replied to another person that the color cast was not the point, but you spoke of it as if it's something for viewers to consider so it becomes a factor. Less knowledgable viewers take what's reported as gospel... at least I did when I first started. Anyway, other than that I really appreciated your detailed shadow comparisons, and this video helped me decide on which one of these devices to purchase. 📸

Thank you soo much

Hi Joe, just revisited this video with some RE photos to edit..followed the steps with the composites etc, but when I select the gradient tool to blend and pick and drag on an area, nothing happens to the image, no blend! As far as I can see I've matched your settings in this video...any clue as to why? Thx!

How would you drop an estate agents logo into the fields that are for sale?

Really well done - THANKS! I have an older M5 Mark II, and most of this applies beautifully!

Very interesting!

What is triggering the flash and camera when you are in another room? I use Nikon and only have one hot show. Thanks

How long do you save your raw files for? I always keep the edited photos, but I don't want to keep the raws forever since they take a lot of storage space.

I shoot with the GH5 using bracketed photos and all my clients have had nothing but good things to say. I use the Rokinon 12mm f2 and I feel it's a little soft, so I'm looking at the Laowa 7.5mm, not only to go wider, but I feel the quality of glass is going to be better.

WOW! This is a fantastic timesaver, my friend. Thank you.

Hi Joe, I've really enjoyed your videos on your Godox AK-R22 and ML-CD15 light modifiers. I searched for those products and KZbin sent me to Will Gay, another real estate photographer. He uses the Godox CS-50D kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4jMpIZmZsSZl6s (for reference), a lantern-style modifier, and pairs it with his AD400. I know you are always trying to create better images, it's worth a watch to see if it fits your style. Take care

Yeee

Wow - THANKS! You nailed this one. Quick and easy.

Can you please tell me the name of that L bracket and where did you purchase it. Thanks!

Well, I absolutely butchered a house on Monday night, I wish I had seen this video first.

Really well done - Thanks! BUT, here is a dumb question... HOW did you trigger your camera when you popped your flash from a distance? What device "pressed the shutter button" on your camera when you were several feet away in the first place? Like I said, dumb question, but that most basic part is a show stopper for me. Do you cover this in another of your videos?

Nice video. I like how simple your workflow is

Bro the difference before and after is insane 😮 Looks great 🙏🏼

So f4 would keep everything in focus just like f8 but keep the light as if it's f4 so would f4 be enough for landscape photography? Is there any point to go higher on the F stop on m43

I see you are using the ad600. Would a 400 equivilent be good enough for flambient. Ive been told 200 is too small, what are your thoughts

Sorry…where you ordered it.

Joe, what is the brand/name of the L bracket you use to connect the camera and light. Also can you tell will you ordered it. Thanks!! Keep up the good work.

Joe, could you please tell me the name of the bracket that you attached to the camera and speed light. Also where did you but it. Thanks! Your videos are well done.

I use my hdr brackets to do the heavy lifting. so to save time i only pop the flash for the nearby roomand not for instance the kitchen and hallway you did there. if i do only that one house or im not in a hurry i will do what you do but when i have like 5 or 6 houses or i need to be quick then i do only the one flash and the 5 hdr brackets. Could you maybe do a video on how many pics you decide to take on a property like this. I thnk alot of us or even me.... even after 5 years of doing it... i still over shoot

How do you switch between hdr and flash without touching the camera?

This is hilarious. I thought that was one of the biggest selling points to these flashes. How does someone not know about this before they buy them?

Хрень полная. Кадр совершенно не естественный. Вспышка убила всю красоту интерьера. Лучше бы включил источники света, которые есть в доме.

Nice result. I just had a new property with no ambient light so I ended up blending flash and then property lighting on.

I'm back with some experience to share! I just completed a residential property shoot where I used 5-shot brackets and a flash shot for each photo. When I brought the compiled bracket shot and flash into Photoshop, I tried a 50/50 Luminosity blend then compared it to the Color mode process you showed here. In every shot, the Color mode looked better! It provides a smooth, even blend! I'm sold on this workflow! I also really like the way you used the duplicated ambient and flash layers to make the ceiling color cast corrections (using the ambient that you tweaked in Lightroom), and the duplicate flash layer that you put into Darken Mode in Photoshop to tweak the windows. I'm considering what steps I can put into a Photoshop Action to set up the layers for quick editing. Thanks again, Joe, for your continued experimentation and sharing of your findings! Your ideas are making a direct impact upon my productivity!

How do you remove yourself carrying umbrella from the picture to create a final image. Anyway nice video

Do you know how to make it look like its growing? Like to show expanding territory of a conquering empire

Did you have smudges on your lens? the photos look really hazy

Note: CPL (polarizing filter) loses you a few stops of light

Thanks for that. I feel it's some time try and errors not everytime it's work correctly

Enfuse gives a more natural look than Hdrmerge in LR.

Could we see a full workflow? Snapping the pictures, importing, editing, etc? I’d be willing to pay for something like that

Why shoot with the lights off? My realtor insists all lights need to be on. Does create big challenges with orange casts

Is there a budget flash you can recommend for a new photographer? Using an E-M10 mark 2 and the pro 8mm lens

Interesting method, but there's no control over ambient %

Great tip with the custom setting (which I've never really used in 20 years!) I do similar 'hybrid' technique, I figured I may as well do a bracket + flash just in case, and it is awkward to keep turning flash on and off to not fire etc. Geometric ceiling trick also handy

Nice video !!

Wow i love this tutorial! Thanks so much!

Great video, Joe. I appreciate the information you share, Buddy.

Another fantastic video.. Thank you Joe

Thank you for another great workflow example! One offhand comment you made here is going to change my shooting routine! I have been doing what you suggested here regarding using C1 for the HDR brackets and then switching to C2 for the flash shot. I have been turning my flash on and off with each change on the camera. I haven't tested it yet, but if the flash won't fire on an HDR shot like you said, then that saves me two steps (on/off) for each shot. Thank you! I see you are using the Lightroom HDR Merge function. I've been doing that for a few months since I compared it to Aurora HDR 2018 and saw that Aurora was generating consistently distorted photos that needed straightening (lots of extra time fooling with them). None of those problems with the barrel distortion occurred with Lightroom Merge. Plus, the Aurora versions of the HDR pics had coloring and shadowing that didn't look as genuine as Lightroom. I paid less than $5 for an Enfuse registration code - money well spent! Then, a couple weeks ago I came across a video comparing the Lightroom HDR results with LREnfuse. So,since I love experimenting with my camera, I took four photos in the house with a 5-bracket set 2 stops apart and ran them through both processes without doing any tweaking before the merge. I saw a noticeable difference in the details with LREnfuse. The accordian blinds on the windows had more detail in the light showing through and the overall blend of the photo seemed smoother without the higher contrast from the Lightroom version. Then I took the middle single exposure of the four sets and worked on them alone to get the best-looking version of the single pic, simulating an ambient-only shot. Then I took both the LREnfuse bracketed photos and the single exposures and blended each one with a flash shot I had captured when I was shooting the brackets, using Luminosity blending. Then I edited them all to look as good as possible and then dropped the various versions of the photos into a folder so I could quickly flip through and compare the shots. I found that consistently (with those four room photos), the LREnfuse HDR photo with about 25% of the flash shot in Luminosity Mode produced the most detailed and pleasing version of each photo. Jpe, you have been showing the use of Color Blending in the past couple videos here. Are you using that now instead of ambient/flash with Luminosity blend? I have a small job I am going to be working on this afternoon (brackets and flash shot for each view) and will try your workflow here to compare. Thank you so much for your continued contributions to the community. Your input keeps things interesting! Note: as a Joe G. fanboy, I proudly use the same camera he uses and recommends, an Olympus EM-1 Mark ii and the Olympus 9-18mm lens he recommended over a year ago. I had one of the Laowa 7.5mm lenses he used in this video but sold it to get the zoom. Sometimes I wish I had the Laowa because it is a set-it-and-forget-it focus lens.

The floor near the chair is oversaturated . And in the sunlight, there's no color.

Thanks man! I’m beginning to see how important it is to offer vertical shots in small spaces. Also flambiant.

extremely helpful!

Looks great, Joe! Nice tutorial 👍

I use the Godox system, and my only complaint is the mounting system. The plastic ring is large and a silicone mounting system similar to the magmod system would be nice, even if it was a separate accessory.
