    Great little vid. I’ve shot a couple of interiors and came here for some reassurance I’m in the right ball park. One thing I didn’t know about was the hdr composit in lightroom. I didn’t know you could composit then edit. That’s awesome. I have zero photoshop skill so this is really gonna help. Your photos are incredible. Thanks for your help!

    Becki, I've shot interiors for several years but found your video very informative. I really like your fast pace delivery - no wasted time here! I've recently been using LR HDR but I was surprised by your comment about editing them after the merge. So I went to Google and learned something very interesting - in the Basic panel if you drag the exposure slider on one of the original raws the range will be -5 to +5 stops. If you drag the exposure slider on the merged file (which is still a raw) the range will be -10 to +10 stops which is huge increase in dynamic range. This is great to know. Like another poster here I would like to hear any specifics you care to share about your edit process on the merged file.

    • @BeckiandChris
      @BeckiandChris  6 лет назад +5

      Jerry Norman thanks so much! Maybe I’ll put together a video on how I edit a tough one from start to finish. Usually only do a little exposure/hightlight/shadow adjustment, then white balance and making sure the colors look the way they do in person. I usually let the windows blow out a bit because I like that look.

    I like to keep my tripod at just above waist height, of course that also depends on how tall you are. I'm 170. For kitchen shots its generally a good idea to boost the tripod height a bit more as kitchen counters are set higher than couches, tables, etc.

  • @bigshooter461
    @bigshooter461 5 лет назад

    Nice work, You are obviously an actual professional, with an understanding of what Properly finished work looke like....not to knock the creator space, but there is alot of subjective feelsy advice out there and I think you really break down some solid fundimentals in a straight forward way.

  • @richardcary5751
    @richardcary5751 5 лет назад

    Very good video. Although I don't shoot interior or real estate, it never hurts to have these techniques in your memory bank. They can be just as useful when photographing people in homes.

  • @vaidotasdarulis
    @vaidotasdarulis 5 лет назад

    I like that you also have this approach of capturing both wide angle room shots and smaller details with a style. We often see this very fronted architectural perspective style which is getting very repetitive. Having wide angle, a bit closer furniture shots and small details fragments/decor is what I love doing the most. Would like to hear ideas on using people in the shots, usually they are in motion, but it get's boring fast as well. :)

  • @footballtexas3008
    @footballtexas3008 5 лет назад

    Great video 👍🏼 I’ve been a Real Estate photographer for a few years. Have a flash with you at all times. Why? Because some homes you will shoot may not have electricity and bathrooms and closets will be difficult. I combine flash and ambient shots as layers in photoshop for the most part. Take your time at the beginning, try different angles and photo techniques till you find what works best. Get your post processing workflow down to a reasonable amount of time otherwise you are losing money. Attend open houses and speak directly to realtors to market your services. Please make sure there is no one there since you don’t want to interfere with their work. Let them know why you are there, don’t mislead by asking to look at the house. Bring your portfolio on an iPad or tablet to show them. Bring business cards! Do charge extra for twilight shoots, any drone work, sky replacement etc. Don’t forget pool and landscape businesses need photos also 👍🏼

    • @builderspluscustomhomesand2146
      @builderspluscustomhomesand2146 4 года назад

      They look terrible because you re trying to focus on advanced shots and not the basics. Learn the basics first and practice landing your natural shots. Landing the shot the first time is most important. This is exactly how i shoot too. I hate all the effects and ohh ahh feel. Lighting corrections can be done inside LR, Affinity or PS. FOCUS! ... no seriously, be sure you are getting your shots fully in focus too so if you are a "bokeh" shooter shooting at F2 all day, learn how to shoot around F8-F11

    I have a canon t7i and every time I do my 3 exposures and then merge them into hdr they final picture comes out very flat and ugly looking.
    Is there maybe a picture style I should be shooting at?
    I use either stand or neutral. What do you use?
    What do you think my issue is?
    Love the video just my hdr photos never come out clear

    • @BeckiandChris
      @BeckiandChris  5 лет назад +1

      MkZoki there is some post work that you have to do after, but you might have to adjust some of the settings once you’ve merged them to get a more natural look. are you shooting RAW? Picture style won’t matter if you shoot RAW.

    • @MkZoki
      @MkZoki 5 лет назад

    Curious if you find yourself really using the ability to open up to f/2.8 all that often with the 16-35 v III? I suspect you open up to 2.8 more for your video walk throughs when needed in darker rooms? Curious what your thoughts are on going with the 16-35 f/4 at a much better price point? I guess I'm just struggling to justify that extra $1000 for that 2.8 stop, and if it really saves the day all that often with your shoots. Looking to buy one or the other.. Thanks for the time you spend on your videos. Great material.

    I have a kit lens (18mm to 55mm) and a wide angle auxiliary lens 0.43x. The wide angle gets more of the room but the kit lens alone is much sharper (especially at the edges). I'm wondering if it's better to capture less of the room and be sharper than more of the room with a small edge blur?

    Hey Becki. Love your work and thanks for your amazing vids. I've been a pro photographer for many years but still have much to learn. I'm just starting to do more lifestyle stuff including interiors. I like natural light as well but really struggle with white balance and taking care of color casts.... As I know you're aware, so many challenges! I'd REALLY love to be able to nail white balance. Any chance you could do a vid addressing that?

    What lens do you use to get a orthographic/straight (not fisheye) shot like at 5:05 ?
