Great Video Rich thanks starting to get more into it been looking at the sony mostly been using Canon just wondering why never canon ? Thanks love shooting spaces too

[@RichBaum]

I was a Nikon for 40 years and got frustrated with the company and the equipment, and it was time to go to Sony

[@BrendanEvan]

Hey Rich, just a note that your Kit link doesn't work any longer. I know they updated their site so my older Kit links all had to change. I just stopped using it because of the hassle.

[@RichBaum]

Abacus Fitness and Money thanks I noticed that. I guess Kit.Com went out of business.

[@BrendanEvan]

Rich Baum definitely unfortunate. Just discovered you on a couple KZbin videos and appreciate your tempo and communication level to beginners. Hope you get some Amazon Associates sales with new links!

[@ludivogel8856]

On the flash power. Can you use the TTL function? would that be close enough? Then using the TCM function on the Xpro trigger to lock that setting into manual?

[@RichBaum]

I never use TTL as I want full control of the flash and manual for camera settings.

I got a proposal and I'm gonna shoot an apartment next week for the very first time. Having only one 10-20mm WA lens a Canon 80D and a Tripod. Was afraid on getting to do the job but you're helping! Great classes I am having from you! Very glad and thankful!

Have you ever considered an S bracket and 7" reflector with the strobe bulb for the eVOLV 200? If not why? I would think it would give you more light than the round head. Just curious.

I’m really not into light modifiers for real estate photography. Bouncing off the ceiling is pretty Much all I need.

[@mikeswan7597]

Your teaching methodology is spot on, very easy to understand and follow, thank you for taking the time. I am starting out in RE photography and have a handle on bracketed exposures and producing an HDR image. What’s your opinion on HDR v flash + ambient and how do you blend flash and ambient exposures to produce final image?

[@RichBaum]

I am not a fan of HDR but it might help you at the beginning.. Using lights will allow you to get good consistent results 100% of the time. HDR also might be faster to shoot but far longer to get really good final shots especially dealing with achieving true colors

[@mikeswan7597]

Rich Baum thank you, I’m getting so much out of your videos - finally understanding masks in PS for one! Cheers M

[@613dawn]

I've watched several of your videos and have gleaned a lot of useful information for real estate photography. I just got called for a construction process shoot where they are at the framing stage so no drywall or white ceilings to bounce light. Any useful tips? You probably won't see this in time, but It's worth asking just in case. :) I'll try the tricks I already have...maybe bounce off a reflector...oh, I may have answered my own questions.

[@RichBaum]

Dawn, I can offer coaching so if it's not too late give me a call 916-296-5778 and maybe I can help.

[@robertsanchez5187]

Rich can great photos still be accomplished with crop sensor cameras ?

[@RichBaum]

Yes Yes Yes, no need for full frame for real estate photography. I shot with a crop sensor all week and it's just as good as my full frame

[@Coryo61827]

Great video Rich! Thank you so much for sharing. I absolutely need that tripod in my life. The one I’m currently using is the kind that has what seems like hundreds of clamps on each side and it’s so annoying to deal with lol. I do have question though if you don’t mind. I’m using a Nikon D850 and sometimes when I’m taking ambient shots the color seems totally out of whack, like a room with light brown walls will make the image of the room show a lot of orange tones. No pleasant lol. Anyway, do you have any recommendations as far as what you do with the white balance settings? Or do you just stick with auto white balance? Thanks again Rich! Cheers! :)

[@RichBaum]

I shoot in RAW and just adjust WB in Lightroom.

[@andersistbesser]

So not having a tilt shift lense is a no go if yo want to work professionally?

[@RichBaum]

Absolutely not.. You don't need a tilt shift but it's great to have and you can do a "Fake " Tilt shift.. I have a video for that if you search. I suggest you rent a tilt shift if your seriously interested in it.

[@andersistbesser]

Rich Baum i will watch it. I love your videos. You help me a lot with learning how it is done. Thank you very much.

[@beckamurage8382]

Hi Rich. You never explained why you take two shots of the same frame (with ambient lighting and flash lighting). Kindly explain

[@RichBaum]

Becka Murage if you watch my videos you will see I mask in ambient into my flash shots to help with shadows and make them look less flashy.

Rich if you lit the room with your speedlight what settings would you use for power and zoom?

Mr. Baum, I can't find it but its on another video. Which Pelican case do you use?

[@RichBaum]

1510 this is the size most RE photographers use

[@MikeLeePhoto]

Hi Rich, do you find raising the center column is as stable as raising the tripod itself to the same height.i always raise the tripod per se and only use the center column in certain circumstances.

[@RichBaum]

It's not as stable but it's pretty close and so much faster. And remember my tripod is about as big heavy and stable as one can get, but it would be best to lower the legs , just tales too long.

[@navonnadir]

Hi there, Rich I've been watching a ton of your videos and have my first paid shoot coming up next week. My options are limited to finding a flash due to Corona and I'm not sure what to get or do. My previous shots were light HDR which is how I got the client, but id love to pick up a flash from a local store, I'm just lost on which one as I can't find any info on them.

Hi Rich, I have a Nikon D5300, with a 18-55, would that lens work to start with?

[@RichBaum]

Todd Morris it’s an ok Camera but the lens as it’s a crop sensor your lens is really 27mm to about 75mm so no it’s not good for Real Estate photography which I recommend choosing something wider.

What lens is the best for the cannon rebel t6 for real estate photography

[@RichBaum]

Sorry but I’m not a Canon shooter. A 16-35 would be good but I don’t know what model

[@rds990]

Rich....Good vid. A couple points. That tripod is a beast and with mirrorless you hardly need to lug that monster around a home. Save yourself some wear and tear and go with a small RRS or Gitzo tripod. Secondly, your work process seems to be very detailed , which is great. But in today's market, PRICE is a huge factor for the mid-priced home. Your work process seems to be one that would require a good amount of time in each home, and therefore much higher pricing. How do you keep your prices in line, yet do such labor intensive work (moving around light stands/ carrying iPads etc ?? .

[@RichBaum]

What I use and what I charge just works for me.. My clients require the best "Detailed" work and that's what I give.. and there is so much more to a tripod than just being light and small.. trust me I have 8 tripods with one being a Gitzo traveler ($800) and a RRS Carbon ($1200) and what I prefer for any type of real estate or design work is my Manfrotto 3046 with the geared center column

[@Garyjonesphotos]

Your videos have been invaluable for me as I get started in real estate photography. I've done about a dozen homes in the last couple of months and I'm starting to get referrals and I hope to grow into an architectural and commercial photographer in the future and I have a question for you. I'm considering starting to shoot tethered for my real estate shoots to hone my workflow for larger assignments in the future. I'm looking at utilizing my Macbook Air affixed to my tripod with a Magic Arm connected to an SSD drive. What are your thoughts on tethered shooting for real estate? Too time-consuming or get a tight workflow and go for it?

Hey Rich, where do we get the little pouch hanging from the tripod?

[@RichBaum]

When you order a new flash they all come with a pouch.. and for me the first thing I do it put those pouches in a drawer and never use it.. so I just zip tied a pouch to my tripod leg and it's absolutely perfect@ so fast and easy to take the flash out and put it back in.

What app do you use in your ipad? Thank you Rich

[@sprockcapn]

I think he said he uses the Sony play memories app now.

[@RichBaum]

Sony Play Memories.. but hopefully CamRanger will be releasing Camranger 2 that will work with Sony.

[@gusrodriz]

Thanks

[@inspiration151]

I use the Sony Playmemories app with the A7III and iPad. Works just ok for me. I was getting frequent disconnects when before I began choosing "Always Connected" on the A7III, which uses more battery power. Now, the only disconnects I experience are when I chimp on the camera. Also, one can not focus from the iPad or iPhone using the Playmemories app. I'd love to find a solid alternative app... especially one having remote focus, however, from what I've read focus is not an option for app developers because of the way Sony engineered the camera?

[@jonathanskeele854]

Hi Rich - great tutorial, thanks. You said your light goes 18" from the ceiling but... what do you do if you're shooting a room with a 20ft ceiling? Any tips for that?

Use a taller stand or more power.. 18" is just a ball park

[@karimeldaly1007]

Thanks Rich for the great tutorial! Very useful. What do you think about HDR and bracketing method for real estate photography? Does it work in all situations?

Using the iPad is a brilliant idea, thank you so much for your excellent tutorial. I used to have a TS-E 17mm, but I think maybe the FE12-24mm/f4 can replace it. I mean, I take the shot with the 12mm levelled and I cut off the unwanted parts. This way I'll lose resolution, but the 12mm is lot lighter, less expensive and more versatile than the TSE17mm. What do you think?

[@RichBaum]

two different lenses.. Personally I will choose a 17mm TS over the 12-24 for this kind of photography every day.

[@flyingeye5394]

If you have a 17mm TS, you can always get the 1.4 extender to use with it. That will make your 17 more like a 24. Its a beautiful thing. And much cheaper than buying a 24TS.

Good team!

hey Rich. on the window facing shot. I noticed the edited image has the right pane on the window as not having any overexposure or flash reflection in it that was part of the ambient and flash shots. Did you actually take a third shot for a window pull? bc the edit doesn't make sense for that one spot between the two images you took. or is there some trick you use to correct for the reflection from the flash that i haven't seen yet?

[@RichBaum]

Yes I might have done a little more work on my delivered image than I showed in the video, I hope you understand.. but the general idea / concept is there..

[@trinity343]

@@RichBaum makes sense. And yes, I learned a decent bit. Added some stuff to my gear wishlist to help with my RE photography. My biggest thing to do now is figure out how to get clients. I had my first three towards the end of last year. Now to just get some more.

[@RichBaum]

Good luck as getting clients is one of the hardest things..

Hello Rich as you may remember recently I Moved from HDR to flambiant, The first 5-7 homes I shot with my YN flashes and soon realized I need more power. Got the AD200s from Flashpoint, I see you are using the round head on yours in this video. Should I invest in the round head for RE?

[@RichBaum]

Personally I don't use it now mainly as the round head is a little wider and longer than the standard head and it doesn't fit as well into my bag to I don't use it.. I don't really think it makes a big difference in power or quality of light. but I could be wrong

[@eddieavenue1209]

@@RichBaum Thank you I was hoping you would say that. the two AD200s fit so nice in my bag.

Hi Rich I've already asked this question but i still have problem with RAW Files using PlayMemories. I set my Sony A7 for RAW+JPEG. Using PlayMemories on my iPad (like you do) I get only images saved in JPEG format. Without using PlayMemories camera saves 2 images (1 RAW & 1 JPEG). Do I do something wrong? Thank you for your help and great tutorials.

[@RichBaum]

you need to make sure your JPEG is set to the smallest file size possible.

[@wanzriot]

I always got flare from the ceiling light when using TSE 17mm. How do you avoid those flare?

[@RichBaum]

It can be an issue, if there is glare I would turn off lights for one exposure and mask that in.

[@EGAinspection1]

Thanks again for a great lesson. 1 question, How long would it take you to shoot this property on average?

[@RichBaum]

1-4 hrs depending on the size and request to detail from the client.

[@你的朋友咪丽]

Thanks your video, I have learned alot, but I have a question, I am very glad if you can answer me. The question is if I shoot entire house with twilight photography. Do I need to shoot interior first and exterior after that, how to manage time, because sunset time is very short. I don't know the processing for entire house twilight photography such as 20 photos. Thank you very much~~~

[@RichBaum]

Honestly I nave never done a complete interior twilight shoot.. I don't think it's a good idea as you are likely to loose the twilight on either the interior or exterior. I would schedule both separate to be safe

[@whynot9041]

Hi Rich! Starting my real estate business in Portugal and currently on a budget. A friend of mine borrowed me a 5D Mark II and 17-40mm f4 canon lenses to help me start but I'm lacking flashlight so I constantly shoot bracketing mode HDR to get more light and contrast. Do you think you can give me some usefull tips (maybe a video :) ) and your workflow sugestions? Thank you so much!

Hi Rich, congrats on your success and thank you for sharing your experience with me and the world! I stumbled onto your channel here the other day AFTER I completed a small condo shoot for a realtor. The widest lens I own is 24 mm and thus it was tough as I was stitching multiple exposures, you know the drill I am sure.... My question, what do you think about the Venus Optics Laowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 FE Zoom Lens for Sony E mount? I have a Sony a73 body which I will be using for this, my new adventure into Real Estate Photography. Another question, do you do consult on how to best start such a business (acquiring clients, acquiring images for portfolio, etc...)? Thanks for any input you may have. Carl

Your welcome

[@johnharwood2763]

Rich, love your videos, and this one is no exception. I'm a tried and true Canon 6D shooter, but am on the fence to switching to Sony. Currently tethering using the DSLR Controller App, which allows for switching on/off flash through the app, but this does not support Sony cameras. I noticed you manually switch flash through your trigger on camera. I'd rather not touch the camera to trigger on/off flash. Does the Sony Play-Memories App allow for this through the app, or is this function not supported through the Sony platform? Thank you Rich, I appreciate all that you do and have learned a lot from you over the years.

[@RichBaum]

I usually use my ipad to adjust camera but I do touch the on camera trigger to turn off my lights.. but I have a very sturdy tripod which I find helpful
