    I do more exteriors than interiors, but when I do those, I use a Phase One back either with a wide angle and the XF camera or a Cambo wide RS with a 58 Schneider. I stop down to 32 with the Cambo (you have to stop down with the large format lenses anyway, but am wary of doing so with the MF Schneiders and usually would focus stack. Very useful summary, and I agree with almost all of your statements. They are easy beginner mistakes.

    I rarely comment on any RUclips videos but I think your work and teaching is truly exceptional as an aspiring architectural photographer moving away from the real estate field if I lived anywhere close to Florida I would certainly come to see you for any one on one sessions or even join your classes I already bought the e-book and I am close to buying the video your explanations and detail are clear and concise well done Steven. Incredible composition and design.
    Lastly, Your point about windows I totally agree with however what I don’t agree with is photo shopped layered windows that literally look like they are two stops darker than interior kind of like you see in real estate I find that looks blatantly fake and it’s not our eyes see an image exteriors should be brighter than the interior especially on a sunn day. But haven’t blown out windows were there are no details I totally agree.

      Thank you for your kind remarks. And I agree with you that the view out of the window must be of an appropriate density.

    I value your comment on replacing burnt out light bulbs but sometimes this isn’t possible, e.g. I once shot a 25m indoor swimming pool the bulbs above the water were burned out.

    • @stevenbrookephotography
      @stevenbrookephotography  8 месяцев назад +1

      This has happened to me, as well. More than once. Here are my favorite excuses: "We can't find the switches." "We can't override the timers." "They never installed the lights." "The lights shorted out yesterday." And there are more. What you can do as a back up is this: (1) Select the area that should have been lit. (2) Use localized highlight dodges (carefully) in the areas where the lights should have been on. OR (3) Use IMAGE>ADJUST>BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST and lighten the pool as a whole. These fixes are probably better than a totally dark pool.

    It would be helpful if you linked referenced videos in your description. I had to run your video back to find the link to the Still Life video. It does not seem to appear in your master list. This video here is quite useful. While I am used to clearing the junk out of a room, I never quite thought of each space as its own composition. many Thanks!

    Great video as always ! Thank you ! I have a question on aperture, do you find stoping down to f/ 16 or f/ 22 really necessary (particularly in rather small interiors) when putting in balance the softness brought by the diffraction of such an aperture ?

    • @stevenbrookephotography
      @stevenbrookephotography  8 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you for your note. With the Canon PC lenses that I use (17, 24, 45) I have not noticed any degradation of the image at the smaller f/stops. I will post something on this plugin in the near future, but I have been using TOPAZ Sharpen AI, which beautifully handles any sharpness-related issues, whether it's lens blur, motion blur...anything.

      Tempted as I am by the newer cameras, I have not replaced my 5DS. The 100+MB Tiff files are large enough for my clients' usage, and its ergonomics are just fine. I have it cleaned and have the alignment checked 3 times a year.

    This was a great refresher; thank you! How often, if ever, do you shoot tethered? I am very new to this, so I often find I miss small things in my images that become obvious on my larger laptop screen.

    • @stevenbrookephotography
      @stevenbrookephotography  8 месяцев назад

      On the rare occasion that I have to photograph products for a retail project (or food setups for a restaurant) I will usually shoot that tethered to be certain of the exact lighting. Generally, though, I do not shoot tethered, especially when I am under severe time constraints. I have used a Cam Ranger set up when I was photographing a restaurant with dozens of items to arrange. This allows you to move through your interior, making adjustments in real time while viewing the results on your iPad. For projects like that, however, it's much more efficient to have an assistant move items while you supervise from the camera.

    • @stevenbrookephotography
      @stevenbrookephotography  4 месяца назад +1

      It the project is local (75-mile radius), I almost always do a site visit, particularly if it is a complicated project such as a hospital, an industrial facility, etc. I also want to meet the property owner or facility superintendent to lay out the ground rules for the photography. Keep in mind, what we do is not what the average person thinks professional photography entails. Out of that area I use GOOGLE maps to at least see the site relative to other properties, water, and extent of foliage. I also ask my client for any preliminary shots they have.

    Dr. Brooke, how would you handle photographing a room with camera positioned over a large sectional, useful to the scene, yet only the seat cushion edges are in frame, You can’t back up, and zooming would make a less favorable composition. Go up, down, or something else?

    • @stevenbrookephotography
      @stevenbrookephotography  8 месяцев назад +1

      (Trying to visualize the situation.) If you need if to explain the room, you could lower the camera to get a bit more of the sectional in the foreground. Being that close, it might only take an inch or two to make it work. Getting only a sliver of it could be distracting, as you wouldn't know exactly what it was. This is true for any just about any item creeping into the shot. It's a bit like pieces of foliage hanging in at the edges of an exterior photo.

      Thank you very much for your note. You have a lot of great architecture in your city to photograph, including several classic Carrére and Hastings buildings.
