When I'm only shooting photos for a listing, I'll use my little manual lens, set focus to infinity, and f/8, then just fire away. Bump it to f/11 for small bathrooms. Of course, video is a different animal like you said. Great video.
Hey! For Canon there's an app called Camera Connect (by Canon) you can use and some people use a device + app called CamRanger which is a great tool/option for photo previews especially.
Hey Taylor, I know I’m flooding your comment section with questions but I’m not sure where else to ask 😂 For your real estate video LUTs you have for sale, are they meant to be applied straight to, for example, CLog 3 footage or should you convert it to REC 709 and then apply the LUT? Also, would you be able to use these LUTs on footage from an iPhone 14 Pro? And lastly, would I be able to use them on CapCut Desktop for example or do they only work in premiere pro ? Thanks in advance !
Hey! No worries. They are meant to be used directly on the LOG footage (They're basically a rec709 LUT + color or temp tweaks included). So after applying you'll still need to do some basic adjustments since every shot is different with lighting / color tints / etc. Not totally sure how they'd work with the iPhone 14 footage but probably not great since it's not LOG so they'd be way too contrasty. For iPhone footage I mostly just up the saturation a little and fix the color temp/tint, save it as a preset and call it a day until next time. I don't think they are compatible with CapCut either. I don't use it but would assume it's not the same file format as premiere pro. Hope that all helps! I'll be releasing some new versions of the presets that I've been working on, soon, so if you have any ideas let me know :)
i pretty much only ever use manual. i think after coming home once and seeing the lens hunt for focus during one shot, scared me off AF back in the early days. even on manual tho, if you're in a bit of a hurry, on the small screen, you can miss focus. i do keep saying i'll use my ninja V one day, even if to use just as a monitor, to avoid such mishaps, but its just so much easier to not bother rigging it all up.
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo i know especially the older we get. i use to have 20/20 now i'm thinking hmmm maybe i should now include some reading glasses in my kit lol
i was literally asking this question in R5C group 2-3 hours back recently got R5C my first mirrorless . wanted to understand continuous AF whole area or manually pinpoint AF. thanks for the topic i noticed while shooting vertically shutter won't work and aperture can only be changed if you put iris mode to manual otherwise we have to remove camera from gimbal then adjust in horizontal position
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo i was in shutter speed mode. While in vertical orientation in R5C screen doesnt allow to change shutter someone suggested to Hit the function button next to the big red button. The function button will let me cycle through white balance, aperture, iso, and shutter and then i can change them using the wheel.
I have what might seem like a strange question...I'm newer to video and never thought to switch out lenses for detailed shots...do you use the same gimbal and have to rebalance while on site for each lens you use? Or do you have two gimbals?
Hi Taylor - Please could you do a video on the best cameras and lenses for someone starting out with real estate photography and videography! I’ve been looking at the Canon R6 and the Canon RF 15-35mm f2.8 lens but I feel like it’s too expensive for someone like me who’s currently using my iPhone 14 Pro and just starting out 😂 Love your videos, they have been so helpful!
Thanks so much! I’ll have to think about it. Might be an r7 with a 10 or 11mm zoom (like 11-16) but I’m not sure which one you can get that’s 2.8 or lower off the top of my head. The video looks pretty much the same as r6 (except it’s cropped sensor so less depth of field and needs wider lenses) and has higher MP photos. Make sure to check out lensrentals.com for used rental gear in good condition. I’ve found some great deals on lenses there this year!
Hi Taylor - Random question about your Light Room presets. If I shoot in raw and take the pictures with auto exposure bracketing and then blend them together, can I then put the preset straight on? Or do I first need to edit it a bit and touch it up before applying the preset? And also, would it be better to shoot in Raw or JPEG when doing this? Probably a silly question but I’m still trying to learn about all of this 😂
Great question! RAW is definitely best. Most editing room, and most protection for you in case you over expose something on accident. You'll still need to do some minor adjustments (either before or after) applying any preset since very image/house/room/angle is different. Should mostly just need to adjust White Balance (I recommend using they eyedropper tool to select something like a light switch that's white usually or a white ceiling) and Exposure since that varies from shot to shot & how you set your exposure can fluctuate a lot for different types of shots. Hope that helps!
