Thanks again Rich! I was using the old color sliders method for a long time and my girlfriend who also edits RE was watching your channel after I directed her there. After she told me about it, we immediately implemented the technique and are not looking back. I'm thinking about all the time I could have saved over the years!!! We are very thankful for your generosity for all of your videos. They really are game changers. Thank you!
Rich, thank you for your videos. I was forced into a career change at the age of 54. I have been an amateur photographer focusing on artistic work for recreation, now I am pursuing it professionally in real estate - I love the precision of setting up the composition and developing the shots to capture the images. It's so different that anything I have done before. Your videos have been so helpful to me as I work to learn this craft. I've got my first professional gig coming up and your videos have been instrumental in me getting the point of being good enough to be confident in offering my services for hire. Thanks!!!
Congratulations. I wish you well in your new career. And take it from me 54 is still really young, I’m 63 and have been shooting RE for only 12 years now and I just got started !!!
Hi Rich, great tutorial, as always.I've been sing the adjustment brush and white balance eyedropper for a while. Sometimes, the varying light temperature between rooms can cause issues. Using the eyedropper to find the correct colour in one room may result in the other room going g too blue. But rather than neutralising the orange with the adjustment brush to desaturate it, it is sometimes easier to use get the bulk of the image correct with the eyedropper tool and then use the adjustment brush to desaturate the blue bits. Just a thought.
Thanks Rich, this is the biggest problem I have. Great techniques here. The most annoying thing, and I'm not sure if you've experienced this, but using Godox Triggers/Flashes with my Canon 5D mk IV always adds a ton of warmth into the image. I've tested it and it's not the flashes themselves, simply turning on my trigger makes the camera add warmth, maybe to compensate for possible blue hues from the lights. I hate it!
However, usually using the Auto WB on LR works, and actually works better than the dropper for me. I totally agree with the sink trick though. Always works!
I just saw Nathan Cool address this issue in his video about triggers. He mentioned something about getting a single pin adapter. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yb2oRot2prs.html
Hey Rich these are great tips and I’m glad Shooting Spaces is still going strong. You ever shoot manual WB? I have a Godox trigger for my AD 200 and it’s giving me tricky WB issues.
hi Rich - thanks for all your tips, amazingly generous of you and I'm using flambient a lot now :-) I've been colour correcting everything using the white balance tool and white things in the scene as you demonstrate, but here in the UK many of the realtors prefer a "warm" look - so everything looks orange! It always upsets me when they ask for them warming up - but they're paying ;-) Have you any tips on making shots warmer, other than dialling up the colour temp in LIGHTROOM before starting to blend?
I think a coaching session would be a real big help to you, if you’re interested send me an email to Rich@richbaum.com and I also have a big announcement coming up in December something that you’ll be very interested in as well
Hey Rich. First of all, a heartfelt thank you for your RU-vid channel and your podcast. My story is a little bit like yours because I spent the last ten years in LA working in the industry before deciding it was time for a move up to Tacoma, WA. I’m working on setting up a real estate photography company now and your content has meant a lot to me. Anyways, I heard on your last podcast that you’re promoting HDphotohub. Do you use it? And do you have any thoughts on HDphotohub vs full frame systems?
Thanks for reaching out.. I have not personally used HD Photohub but I know several photographers that really like it. I am confident you can find some good info and feedback if you post in one of the Real Estate Photography groups.. And good luck with your new business.. What did you do in the movie industry?
@@RichBaum Production department. Commercials mostly. New job every 3 weeks. Pretty great gig but it was time to move on. Thanks again! I'll be watching and listening.
Thanks Rich. Do you often consider using an orange gel in situations where white balance tool isn’t cutting it along with manually pulling back on orange saturation? Great videos man!! Bathroom sinks make a pretty good integrating sphere for overall ambient color temp. Never thought of it, thanks for this as well.
Rich Baum interesting, that’s my thought as well but a lot folks swear by them. I’ll experiment with them some more. I’d note that many of them are lugging around AD600’s or bigger so the hit to output power isn’t a big deal to them. Like you I can’t lug all that weight around anymore. Thanks Rich for replying.
Rich Baum it’s likely due to the skill and speed at which you can balance your shots. I love watching you do it and strive to get there. I’ll experiment with Gels but in the end hopefully I can get good enough not to need them. It’s fun to watch you do your thing!!
Hello from New York City! Do you use color corrections gels on your flash like CTO or CTB? How do you deal with white balance? Do you use Auto white balance (AWB), custom or preset white balance? Thank you for informative video.
I find Lumiosity mode has it's own color issues especially there there are over exposed areas.. so I find adjusting my ambient shot faster and easier in the long run.
Rich Baum I get you. If there is no detail in the over or under exposed area it creates small issues. I’ll give this method a try and see if it works better in my workflow.
Rich.. Sorry, I'm a noob to this and I did notice right off the starting block that when you adjust your temp it's in Kelvin. My version of Lightroom Classic has a scale of 0 +/- 5. Is there a way to change this. I searched around and can't seem to find anything helpful on the subject. Hence, the question. Absolutely enjoy watching these video tutorials. They are informative, hold my attention and most of all they are very useful. Thank you!
Just shot a 3,600 SF house with "builder beige" interior walls. The seller the night before the shoot got a paint roller and touched up blemishes on the walls. Not just in one spot but up to 20 spots per wall and on most of the interior walls. What's the best way to "fix" this? I tried to shoot them where they didn't show but was not very successful.
do you shoot white balance in camera on auto white or kelvin? im contracted through a company and they want the white balance right in camera but I find it impossible to get it perfect in camera with color cast? how do you shoot in camera?
In the new, 9.2, Lightroom - Adobe announce "Local Hue Adjustment - Control the hue of a color in a specific area of your image using a local adjustment tool."
Hi, Rich! Thanks a lot for all your videos and tips. With adjustment brush in LR I like that it also possible to correct effects later - choose one of your adjustment mask and change properties/adjustment with the instant view of the result changing.
I know the volume is low, I’m so sorry, I’ve worked on my sound quality much more in the recent videos and hope you can tell the difference, thanks again for watching
