Great tutorial Mike! Quick update and fix regarding the white balance issue with Sony cameras that you mentioned; I also shoot with the Sony A7S iii and regarding the WB issue, a complete fix (if you want it corrected in the field) is to use the Flashpoint R2 SP (single pin) trigger. This completely fixes the “warm” white balance flash shots. Also, the method you mentioned about using a Canon trigger on the Sony doesn’t work unfortunately...I purchased the same trigger you’re using in this video but the Canon model and it does not physically fit in the hot shoe. I tried a Fuji version as well and same thing, won’t fit in the hot shoe...Regardless, anyone reading this and want the white balance issue fixed, use the Flashpoint R2 SP trigger...and they are only $25USD. Thank you again! :)

Two flashes work well for most homes. Yes high end homes with high ceilings and large windows will require more lighting but don't underestimate what you can do with two flashes and multiple frames then editing using layers in photoshop. Takes longer and yes stronger lighting speeds it up but when starting out it's a good idea to control your budget.

@forumsnowsoldier

Жыл бұрын

@palebeachbum You wouldn't be doing that if you were just battling it out with competition for the most RnG HDR shoots in your area, at the cheapest price. Flambient evidently produces much higher quality, which ultimately means that you charge more, shoot & edit less, enjoy your life daily and work with better clientele. Implement PS actions and LR presets and you're cruising through edits! Don't over do it. So many people do. The lighting equipment isn't too much of a financial hit either (was about $500 CDN). Shop wisely. It's an investment and a good one at that. I switched over from HDR and only being a few months into my business, I've noticed it attracts a different clientele. All the best.

@@forumsnowsoldier I appreciate the input from someone doing the work. I'm in the research and learning stage before I get started with clients. I may delve into flambient to try it on for size later, but for now HDR seems more straightforward and a time saver on-site. Good for someone like myself less skilled and slower paced. I don't know how to create or run Photoshop actions and Lightroom presents yet. Much to learn still. What I will say about so much of the pro real estate photography in my area though is that they way over-enhance their images. Interiors are way too bright with too little depth, creating an artificial CGI vibe, with window pulls so dark it looks like a Sears portrait backdrop outside every window. These photographers clearly have the knowledge and skill to do the extra work required to pull off that look, but IMO it looks terrible. As a real estate photographer on KZread stated, if your photos look like they've been enhanced, you've gone too far. So I'm aiming for a less harsh, more natural HDR look. I recently saw images from a flambient shoot in a home with small rooms and it had some issues. Flash showing on shiny surfaces like glossy dark wood kitchen cabinets and tile in the bathrooms. It was kinda ugly and harsh for all of the extra post production required to blend. Maybe flambient works better in large rooms. I just find HDR to look far more natural overall and less post production work. I'll spend more time learning about flambient and analyzing the work of other local pros.

@forumsnowsoldier

Жыл бұрын

@palebeachbum Spend lots of time researching both techniques and find something that suits your skillset/style. HDR/brackets may be quicker when shooting onsite, but to hand blend them correctly for professional use, takes WAY longer than flambient editing. The 50/50 technique used by many will get you by with 85% of shoots and will outshine HDR in almost all ways, all day long. I don't spend much more time on site shooting flash then I did with bracketing but when I get home to edit (I don't outsource) I fly through them as most of the work is done on site. Proper trigger setups with center pin isolation and shutter releases will speed up the process even more! Have a good look at the market you're in and decide what's good for you. I don't like working with clients who don't have a large focus on marketing anyway (it's always easy to tell). I'll leave those shoots for the RnG HDR photographers charging less and less to beat out their competition. Also, sounds to me like some of these edits are over done, or edited by amateurs. I don't stress window pulls unless the view is something spectacular that potential buyers might be interested in seeing & I make this clear when booking shoots. It can really draw the attention away from the interior space and that's not something you want. Also I'm not quite sure where you're seeing the editing for HDR is much quicker than Flambient? If you're just HDR merging in lightroom and running through a few presets/touchups then maybe this is the case but not when hand blending. I suggest you do a little more research in that regard. Alot of people on here breaking it down and making it seem much more time consuming then it actually is! (Presets and Actions FTW!) Hope this helps! All the best.

Be cool to time it, as if you are in the field and trying to keep an expeditious work flow. Seems flambient is adding a lot of "bulk" to the process, and would think a good HDR artist could match the result... your thoughts?

I'm trying to use a tablet (which I want to buy) with the Sony a7iii, and my (2x) AD200 + XPro Trigger. I can buy a new trigger system (if needed) to make this work... The tablet is used for viewing the shots on a larger screen. If possible also trigger the camera/flash from it, if possible. I want to be able to change the strobe settings/turn them off when away from the camera & lights - How do I do this? How do I also shoot the camera wirelessly and have the strobes go off?

I would look into camranger. Does everything your describing except I don’t think you can change your strobe settings (I may be wrong).

It looks like you have a ND filter on your lense? When shooting inside real estate (granted this shot had big windows and a lot of ambient light im sure) do you always have a filter on? An idea for another video based around What kind are you using, and how you adjust it if it's a variable ND would be a great!

Its not an ND filter, its a circular polarizer filter that I use to eliminate/minimize reflections. kzread.info/dash/bejne/q2ytt6Obm8W6dZM.html

Should use a polarizing filter to eliminate the glare/flair in the windows, you'd save yourself work in post production. I'd also use manual focus.

I use a polarizer everyday and it was on for this video. It doesn’t do a lot for window views but is very helpful for floors and things of that nature. I

If you have the godox xpro2 you have to turn on legacy mode to not have the white balance issue

Are there some specific reasons of why you would choose to do flambient instead of bracketing with no flash or vice versa? thanks!

Either method gets the job done! No specific reason other than if you like one better than the other or think you get better results with one vs the other.

Do you feel like ad200pro will be sufficient for bigger homes with taller ceilings, or what do you thin would be a 1 stop shop light

Yeah, I think its great all around light that you can make work for almost all situations. I'm considering getting a AD600 at some point which I think will come in handy for big spaces by just making it a little easier but I don't think it's a necessity.

Do you still use multi bracket shots / HDR or strictly flambient now? When would you choose one vs the other?

Hey! I think it depends on the properties. If its just a regular residential home I think you can get away with HDR. If its a higher end listing I'd say use the flash/ambient.. I take it case by case bases.
