[@ronspi]

Thank you for posting it. I've watched eight different real estate photographers today, explaining and teaching how they photograph interiors. What I liked the most was, no one does it the same way! The only common, and logical, point was: use a wide angle lens. Everything else, from positioning to lights, from outside the window view to light paintings, all is different and unique to the style of the photographer! Not to the property, but to the style of the photographer. Great ideas. No one size fits all. Thanks again.

[@alessandroradice6519]

Hi Rich, at minute 12.45 why don't you put the ambient shot in luminosity blending mode? It should deletes the orange color cast

[@RichBaum]

In theory Luminosity mode works great but in practice it usually causes more color issues than it’s worth. These issues are usually where the ambient shot has over exposed areas.

[@charlottebrennan4604]

Is there a general rule of thumb to use when figuring out what the flash settings should be as compared to the ambient shot? Specifically shutter speed and power.

[@RichBaum]

This is something you learn over time. Now I can look at a room and depending on how big, the color of the walls and furniture and if there are windows I can usually eyeball it.

I appreciate these videos. I use a Sony a 6400 with the 10 to 18 MMC Sony lens and I am a professional photographer shooting real estate only. I usually only use Lightroom and I'm not really familiar with Photoshop so I get very lost when you go through these layers and all the things you're doing there. Do you have a tutorial on Photoshop for beginners? I'm very experienced with Lightroombut I don't use the paintbrush at all. Do you have a beginner's guide for Photoshop for real Estate photography using layers and the brushes?

Are you shooting bare bulbs on your 360 & 200 or are you using the half moon defused dome on your Flash shots?

[@RichBaum]

Never shoot bare bulb as it causes harsh shadows.. I always bounce off ceiling. it's a great diffuser

[@realographystudios7035]

I enjoyed this. Why are you changing shutter speed between ambient and flash, and how are you determining how much to change? When you shoot your ambient shot, are you shooting carefully for correct exposure, or just getting a shot and perking it up in light room?

[@RichBaum]

Yes change SS I use my iPad to see the exposure I have as while tethered I see my exposure real time / it's called Exposure Preview..

[@realographystudios7035]

@@RichBaum Your tethering program is called Exposure Preview? I do have another question, since I've never done this before. I'm following along with you step by step, and still struggling to get a deliverable result. The problem seems to be getting all of the shots at the same exposure. I keep running into having too much flash or too much ambient and I get mottled, inconsistent light in places, especially where the brightest part of the flash meets the ambient. Obviously, the flash is applied to areas where the lighting is poor (in the ambient shot) so that when they are blended, the result is a consistent appearance. I've not been able to get even a tiny bit close. Are you just so good, naturally, that you are making lemonade from lemons, or is it all lemonade to begin with? Are your ambient exposures so close to deliverable in the first place that you don't really need to be doing this at all? If my exposures are so close to the same in both shots, then I'm not sure what the advantage is. I need to be able to do this in homes where lighting is bad, color casts are obvious, etc. In other words, to FIX bad light. I don't see how it is possible to do that. I also don't have a 400 dollar strobe, so my 2 little speed lights have to carry the load. I thought about jumping in and spending the dough and getting the explor 600, but really, all that does is make the distinction between the bad light and the flash that much more exaggerated. What am I missing here? Where is my thinking wrong? Have you done any tutorials where the houses are small, weird, have multi colored light bulbs, no windows to help, and a gloomy day all combine to mess up your life? I'd love to see some of that.

Could I start out using my iPhone in real estate photography and as time goes on invest in photography equipment?

[@RichBaum]

Honestly I would never suggest you use your phone for Real Estate Photography, I’ve got several videos on the Sony a 6000 camera which is a great bargain and you can start taking really professional photos

[@JoshxIZ]

Good video. I forgot you can use normal mode when blending ambient. So used to using lumonosity mode.

[@RichBaum]

I’ve been making videos putting down luminosity mode and last few years of been using it more so if you do it right, it’s a wonderful tool and I’m looking forward to re-making a video just on luminosity mode so stay tune

[@michaeln2097]

Really liked the video. One question is you did not mention the flash you used especially for the steps. If just a regular say canon or nikon off camera flash, you have a great deal of very nicely dispersed light across the whole area of the wall and steps. What were the settings you used for the flash? Or if you used a strobe, same question. Thank you.

[@RichBaum]

I use all Flashpoint lights, and I set to manual and adjust power per each room / shot..

[@sunitsharma88]

hello sir , sir just wanted to ask if the room or space is wide and big. And also ceiling is high. Then the person holding the flash on light stand or without stand will come in picture. what can be be done for that. Person or light stand should be removed in photoshop or is there any way to shoot without coming in the picture.

[@RichBaum]

Just shoot your flash on one side of the space and then move to a different spot for another shot. Then you just mask out one of you. Hope that helps.

[@davidbailey4976]

Thanks Rich. I am an amateur who doesn't even do real estate but I am interested in how to light interior/exterior and blend them together. I think that I'm beginning to get the hang of this stuff. My biggest initial problem was the mask. It seemed counter-intuitive to apply a mask to a layer and then paint it back in! I struggled to recall the detail that needed to be painted. Of course swapping from white brush to black did the trick when I screwed up. After watching about 10 of your videos I am beginning to get there. Your easy, gentle descriptive style helps me to understand the technique. Great stuff. Thanks again. I am learning a lot and enjoying your presentations. David Bailey, UK.

8:18 "The whole concept here is prepping your ambient shot to work with your flash shot … and it only takes a minute..." The guidance and instruction is fantastic! But I am a long way from it only taking a minute.
