As many of you know, I have switched my real estate photography to HDR. It has taken me a bit of time getting used to it but I do like it much better. In particular, I am able to shoot houses quicker – which makes a difference now that Nelya is getting a lot of listings!
Recently she got another listing and I went out to photograph it. There were two main goals I hoped to fix.
One nice offshoot of my first take with HDR is that another agent asked me to shoot one of his listings. Of course I obliged and was determined to fix some of the things I didn’t like with my earlier shoot. In general, I am pleased with the results.
One thing that I am pleased with in these shots is that I did not blow out the windows as I did before. In my first attempt I was a bit lazy and just set the camera to bracket the exposures. This time, I metered the windows and then metered the darkest part of the room, then took a shot each stop in between. I like the results of this much better.
Of course, there are some things I would like to improve.
