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.

@palebeachbum Год назад

I just watched his video on HDR photography, which is so much more straightforward. Unless there's some advantage or necessity to flambient, I don't understand why a real estate photographer would buy the extra equipment and spend 5x as much time editing photos for a job.

@forumsnowsoldier Год назад

@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.

@palebeachbum Год назад

@@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 RU-vid 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 Год назад

@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.

@funkyboogiee 2 года назад

Are you doing Flambient method on EVERY shot for a house shoot, or just the most marketable ones? when i started messing with real estate photography lightly 2-ish years ago I was into the flambient method. However, at this point in time with software like Photomatix Pro (and others) stacking exposure brackets and blending HDR is pretty dang easy and fast. Since this September, in my last 150 shoots the only light I've used when ambient is not enough is a head lamp or flash light bounced off ceiling when it's too dark, while the brackets rip. or they have bulbs out or missing say in a laundry room, or bath room. Of course, agents that have their $hi* together usually make sure all bulbs are fixtures are working, but many times they are just flipping something and doing minimal effort. Anyhow, I'm just not sold on spending my extra time doing Flambient anymore (unless it was a super awesome property that "deserved" it), when blending brackets has become so easy and also high quality when done right. THOUGHTS ???

@InsideRealEstatePhotography 2 года назад

The majority of my shoots are bracketed shots. I use lights on higher end shoots and when I feel it’s worth while. I like both methods but definitely feel that good results can be achieved either way.

@trip_the_deep 2 года назад

1 flash. 1 exposure. Point flash at ceiling. Slightly over expose windows, grade and colour correct in post. Modern cameras can recover most window details. 95% of clients will not be able to distinguish. If the ceiling is too high or room is too large, consider skipping the flash entirely; We don’t use flash in Real Estate videography and get on just fine with colour grading in post. Unless this is like a $2M+ property, this video overcomplicates everything.

You explained everything nicely, but don't you think the end result is over-edited? Everything is so perfect that the room looks flat, one-dimensional. What makes any object, and a room, interesting and 3D is light/shade play. By eliminating shades and so called imperfections the space does not look real, including the picture outdoors which is way too clear. I see a lot of this in interior design books and in my opinion the rooms lose their charm in an effort to produce a "perfect" image. Ambient photo that you took first was way more pleasing to the eye than the final one. Of course, I am not a pro and this is not meant as a criticism, just an observation.

@palebeachbum Год назад

I agree, but it's a battle of personal preferences. Some RE photographers do too much editing work on their images and they turn out looking very artificial.

Fantastic and well instructed video! I would like to see you do a video that puts the HDR method against the flambient method. 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? With the new Sony A bodies... low light scenarios and brackets with a low ISO would keep things clean. Side note , using the a7S3? How does your sharpness compare to your a7III or an R series body? Keep up the good work!

@InsideRealEstatePhotography 3 года назад

Definitely a comparison video coming in the future! Yes, I think you can get similar results with HDR when done well. Good hand blended HDR is more work on the back end while flambient is more work on the front end bu yield comparable results. I’m loving the a7siii! Quality is similar to my a7iii but smaller files which is great. We don’t need a lot of resolution for real estate photos so in my mind it’s perfect. The video features are fantastic. The a7sii was my main cam before I got the a7iii so it’s familiar territory for me.

@snotlobber 3 года назад

@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Nice and good thinking! Have been curious for the S3 to use for my walk thru vids. I am using the rIV and files are HUGE and slow down LR... Looking forward to that comparison vid.

@@snotlobber yeah I don’t have any experience with the R series as I’ve never really had a need for that much resolution for anything I do. Great cameras though of course!

To fix the pin issue with the trigger. You could probably put a tiny dab of rubber cement on it to insulate it and prevent it from screwing with you white balance. The rubber cement is also soft enough that I bet you could peel it off too if needed.

@Michael-hj3nw 10 месяцев назад

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

I'm following all of your instructions and for some reason I keep getting a ghosting effect on light fixtures even after I've done auto align layers in Photoshop. Can you possibly shed some light on this issue. I would attach a photo to show you but it doesn't let me in these comment sections. Thank you in advance

@InsideRealEstatePhotography 5 месяцев назад

Hmm I’m sorry, I’m not really sure what’s going on there

@stephent8220 5 месяцев назад

@InsideRealEstatePhotography I think the tripod must have shifted because it doesn't do it on all the photos, only some of them. Do you do 1 on 1 video/screen share editing with step by step teaching? If so, how do I go about doing that with you? I've pretty much got the flambient dialed in on smaller rooms but still struggling with larger rooms.

@ILOVESHINO Год назад

Hi Mike. This is going to be an embarrassingly stupid question, but I can’t figure out how to trip the shutter for the XPro while holding the flash. Like, there are zero out there explaining it. I currently use 2 flashpoint RS and an AD200 and it’s fine, but when I use the XPro I can’t get the flashpoint as a remote. Is there a specific shutter remote or am I missing something really obvious?

@grantdecker1190 3 года назад

Another great video! So much to try. I shoot with Sony A7RIII/Godox trigger pro s/ AD200pro with HD200R round heads and AK-R1 dome. I know its more equipment but I might have try 2 AD200Pro with 2 Silver umbrellas just to see if I can take less shots. Just trying to limit post production masking. If I can get it done with three shots at the property that would be my preferred route.

@InsideRealEstatePhotography 3 года назад

Yeah, definitely agree about trying to limit the post production time!

@bogdanpopescu8406 2 года назад

It is easier the post production masking (matter of seconds) than making more flash pops or installing lights

@Soulful-Scribes 3 года назад

My photography friend says she uses the godox flash with bracketing shots. Do most use bracketing shots or not with the flash ?

@InsideRealEstatePhotography 3 года назад

You could do that! Most don’t really do that though as far as I know. Usually an ambient frame, a flash frame and a window pull.

@@InsideRealEstatePhotography do you need photoshop to edit or could you just use lightroom? I don't want to pay for Adobe but I have lightroom.

He Mike - how are you triggering the Transmitter (on the hotshot) with a Transceiver? You're pushing a button on a Transceiver - that is communicating with the Godox/Flashpoint Transmitter. How can that work? Can the Transmitter RECEIVE a command from the Transceiver?

@InsideRealEstatePhotography Год назад

I’m using a remote shutter trigger. The flash is triggered by the shutter of the camera.

It’s actually a circular polarizer to reduce glare and reflections. Not an ND filter.
