Good episode, I have been avoiding learning HDR as I primarily shoot flamibent. I love the quality that flambient produces and my HDR skills are lacking. Look forward to next weeks video, Mr Cool.
I never took HDR photos. But I ran into the problem that I couldn't explain to the broker what the difference was. Now I take HDR + flambient photos for new customers. they actually always choose flash. Learned a lot from your books. Very grateful for that! By the way, do you use shift lenses for professional assignments?
The graphs were very helpful for visualizing what you are talking about. Also it's encouraging that learning flambient will cut back on my editing time. HDR does take me so long to edit that it doesn't make sense to do on my own. Now I assume I will see significant improvements in my time spent getting good results on my HDR edits as time passes. But right now it is absurd.
Another excellent video Nathan, I've been watching your videos for years and almost exclusively use flambient techniques you've taught me. Thank you for that. I would LOVE to see a video on how you take a flambient mix photo with people in the shot. I predominantly shoot higher end houses, and I would get a request at times from the owners to be in the photo, perhaps with an animal as well. It's a bit intimidating and the pressure definitely piles on. Any tips around that would make for an excellent video I believe. Thank you and keep it up!
Excellent recap of flambient vs HDR Nathan! While I am a flambient shooter I can’t help but wonder how you control color when shooting HDR in large open spaces?
Thanks! I cover the high-end HDR and color control and editing in my expert editing course, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: expertediting.nathancool.com
Thanks! And no. There's no need for a polarizer for interior real estate photography if you capture and light your footage properly, like I show in my interiors course. Here's a link to that if you'd like to check that out: ProInteriors.NathanCool.com
Hi Nathan. I'm a Realtor in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and I'd like to learn how to photograph my listings. I want to ask if you have a course that can take me from zero knowledge to a professional Real Estate photographer. I need advice on what equipment would give me the best results and return on my investment. I also manage 20 Airbnbs and would love to have high-quality photos for the listings and 360-degree 3D videos and pictures. I know some programs also give me floor plans and locations, and I'd like to use that as well. I'm looking forward to hearing your advice.
I have a variety of courses (and discount bundles) to learn real estate photography and videography at LearnRE.NathanCool.com I also offer private coaching via Zoom, you can email me for more info at Nathan@NathanCoolPhoto.com
Hi Nathan, love your methodical teaching style. I tried to order your 9 series of kindle books, but I don’t believe it worked. I never got an email and I’m hesitant to try again for fear that I might get charged twice. Thanks for your time.
I love using flambient, I think HDR is just too frustrating. I do a lot of shoots on the water with wide differences in light. For instance, I just finished an extremely challenging property - very dark interiors, even the floors were dark, lots of wood, contrasted by white out water views which are the primary selling feature, and mirrors everywhere!!! I'm pulling my hair out...I need to go back and read a couple of your books again and revisit some of your videos I've saved - I am still unsure about what settings to change first in this scenario, ISO or aperture...I know it will click at some point. I continue to overshoot and spend too much time in post 😕
I know what you mean. Lots of disparagement in some of my shoots and tricky to edit even with flash. Just ran into window pull, what should have been a reversal pull. I always have to learn the hard way it seems.

You're very welcome!
Thanks for the video. Just an off topic question, do you ever use circular polarizers indoors. And how does that affect your editing?
Thanks! And no. There's no need for a polarizer for interior real estate photography if you capture and light your footage properly, like I show in my interiors course. Here's a link to that if you'd like to check that out: ProInteriors.NathanCool.com

Which book is your advanced HDR editing please?
Hi Nathan, love your methodical teaching style. I tried to order your 9 series of kindle books, but I don’t believe it worked. I never got an email and I’m hesitant to try again for fear that I might get charged twice. Thanks for your time.
If you have an issue ordering the books you just need to contact Amazon support and they can square you away.
Thank you
