A simple way to light a room using the distant window and distant diamond techniques. More on this is in my real estate photography series at amzn.to/3mFoznx
You're a freaking godsend Nathan! I discovered this technique on my own in a few shots but never understood what was happening exactly so I wasn't able to reproduce it consistently. This makes it so easy to understand!!!
Thanks Nathan for the great tips. I enjoy watching your videos so much. I've been having some issues with using flash to apply flambient technique. I sent you a personal message and I would appreciate if you can check it whenever you got the time. Once again, great technique and excellent videos. Keep them coming.
Extreemly good video,lots of informations...Ideally you should do a complete video tutorial like Fstoppers did with mike kelley and put all these informations together.
Thanks Bill, but I can do one better :) My books provide all the details from my videos and a lot more. I recommend the e-book versions, which allow you to zoom into screen shots and navigate to my videos as well: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FF9HSR5?ref=series_rw_dp_labf
It depends on your budget and what you are shooting. I break this down further in my lighting guide e-book, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: amzn.to/2Uip8oc
Thanks as always for sharing your methods. You're so calm about it! I freak out when trying something on a shoot for the first time :) But if I look back at my work over time, the improvement shows - mostly thanks to your guidance!
Great tutorial. Question, do you leave the flash to left of camera on during your fill in shots? Also, do you leave the camera setting the same as used in the ambient shot with no flash? Thanks for the great work in producing your RUclips videos.
Thanks Marty. Mostly yes, but it depends on the situation and composite. I break that down in detail in my lighting guide, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: amzn.to/3SzP4sQ
Fantastic.. I got in trouble recently from a lovely attic room with blue walls that went closer to mauve. Blue walls, wooden ceiling, tungsten lights, greenery outside.. Loved the ambient light but my camera had no idea what to do with white balance, and colour casts were unavoidable. You taught me luminosity, well overdue! Thanks
Another very informative video Nathan. I know for your ambient shot that you shoot just right on the Histogram, but what is your flash power set at on the Xplor 600? Based on you videos and book, I just purchased the Xplor 600.(only test shot at home so far). You have added a 25' tripod and a new flash to my collection and I'm quickly becoming the preferred photographer for our agency! Your books and videos are priceless
Hi Nathan.. love all your videos.. curious how you light and shoot rooms/houses that are empty without furnishings, same techniques apply? Or do you change things up?
Thank you. I bought all three your books and fild your stuff very helpful. How many times do you use the 600 on full power. Im am planning on getting the Ad200 flash, but do not know when I might run out of power.
Full power on the XPLR is rare, usually never above 1/2 power inside. Some window pulls require power near 1/1, but rare. I talk more about those settings in this other video at ruclips.net/video/tK5FQdTr-fA/видео.html
Im a real newbie, does it have to be a strobe lighting. can it be an LED continuous lighting that can dim.. I mostly work in video so Im new to photography. thank you
Hi Allan, since you're new to REP, it looks like you may be putting the cart before the horse. I explain some of those basics in e-book #1 in my RE series, and dive deeper into it in my lighting guide. Here's a link to the series: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078NLRKNM?ref_=series_rw_dp_labf
Hi Nathan is there anyway to edit real estate photos using pixlr because that seems to be the only free editing software available? Or can you only do it by paying for editing software?
Ten bucks a month for PS and LR is minimal compared to the return of investment. If though you aren't doing this professionally, then consider OEM software, which I talk about in this video: ruclips.net/video/2VPeJBbHNuQ/видео.html
Hi, we' ve got a question concering lighting. If you shoot with speedlights for composites do you also have a bigger lamp on somewhere next to you camera?
I've noticed when I go to luminosity mode and attempt to blend out stronger shadows, such as ceiling fans. . .or a reflection in the mirror. . it often leaves an odd color where the shadow was. . .it requires me having to go over those areas with a brush in "color" mode to brush in the surround color into those areas. . .The extra time to do that makes luminosity mode not always usable. . although when it does work. . it's great. My question is . .is there a way to avoid those odd colors that creep in when using luminosity mode?
Hi Kevin, I explain that in this video ruclips.net/video/SyVGasvcl8E/видео.html and also in my advanced editing book, which has steps to resolve it www.amazon.com/dp/B0779PCVWC
Hi Nathan! As far as I understood, the main key of this technique is to keep the flash in the opposite side of the main source of ambient light, I am right?
You don't need any if bouncing of ceiling, I just keep the one that comes with it on the light, just like I show in the interiors e-book www.amazon.com/dp/B0755KXSL4
Очень было бы интересно узнать как качественно снять например бар,где нет естественного света,а только лампы.Или сфотографировать комнату в доме вечером,где за окном уже темно и горят только лампы внутри помещения.Спасибо!!!Я очень много получил полезных знаний из ваших роликов.
Looks like you said, "It would be very interesting to know how to qualitatively remove for example a bar where there is no natural light, but only a lamp. Or take a picture of a room in the house in the evening, where it's already dark outside the window and only the lamps inside the room are lit. Thank you !!! I got a lot of useful knowledge from your videos." Glad you like the videos! When I come across a property that requires what you mentioned, I'll definitely keep it in mind for a tutorial.
Nathan, thanks so much for all your videos. Very helpful. I subscribed. One question. Are you color correcting all images before this tutorial or is it not needed due to your process? Thanks!
Using flash I rarely have to worry about color correcting. This is one of the main reasons for the flash part of the flash-ambient technique I describe in my interiors book: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0755KXSL4/ref=series_dp_rw_ca_1

Thanks for the Bonus tip. Now going back and cleaning up like crazy.
Wow great tips! Thank you so much!
What light do you recommend?
It depends on your budget and what you are shooting. I break this down further in my lighting guide e-book, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: amzn.to/2Uip8oc
@@NathanCoolPhoto Thanks brother !
Thank you so much for sharing this. When I read it in your book, it was hard to understand what you meant, but this makes so much sense. 😊
Another Amazing Video Nathan Cool, you have made real estate photography extremely easy. THANK YOU!

Thanks! I recently made a video on the XPLR flash settings, which may shed some light on that ruclips.net/video/tK5FQdTr-fA/видео.html
Excellent job Nathan. Thanks for the Bonus tip
inspiring and detailed. thanx for doing this
Hi Nathan.. love all your videos.. curious how you light and shoot rooms/houses that are empty without furnishings, same techniques apply? Or do you change things up?
Same thing, although be careful not to use too much light since you can get more color cast off empty floors.
Awesome!.... Thank You!
Thank you so much Sensei.

Hi Nathan! As far as I understood, the main key of this technique is to keep the flash in the opposite side of the main source of ambient light, I am right?
It's more than that, it's distance from walls that could be lit. I discuss this further in my interiors book as well at www.amazon.com/dp/B0755KXSL4
What modifier did you use on the XPLR 600?
You don't need any if bouncing of ceiling, I just keep the one that comes with it on the light, just like I show in the interiors e-book www.amazon.com/dp/B0755KXSL4
