Yes, he was explaining how to modify the HTML to view a before and after image by simply moving your mouse over the image.

Don't mind me, just being a smart ass. I'm just not a programmer although I'm a geek enough, I just stop at programming.

Man.....feast or famine. Only one in the last 2 weeks now in last 24 hours I've book 4 for next week.

I'm proud to report that I love my new sigma 12-24 lens. In my opinion it takes a cropped sensor onto a proffessional level.

I'm sad to report that the shoot I did Saturday has nothing worthy of bragging. The windows were so badly water stained that you wouldnt want the outside to show, so I let them blow out. Looks better that way.

But on a brighter note. This Saturday I'll be shooting a model home in an up scale area for a high end builder. Will definitely get some portfolio material out of that one.

happy for you about the lens - sorry about the windows - happy about the next shoot you've got! emotional rollercoaster here!

Yes, thanks Mike for your great tutorial on YouTube. Very cool!

And wow, does my scanner suck

Nice work there.

You guys asleep out there or what?

Tuesdays shoot....nothing special, just a bump

Nice clean place, and nice clean work!

Sean, I like these recent photos a lot! The window views look more natural this way. And, your flash use is tone down more to allow some of the ambient light to come out. I would have to say that the last one is my favorite. I like the warm floors, I like the light above the fireplace showing up, I like the light from the lamps showing up. Nice job!

Thanks. You have no idea the extra work your "flashy" comments have cost me....lol. But I've rounded that corner and am now preferring the "warmer" look.........so thank you! That's why we are on here, to learn & get better. The 2nd one is the only shot that's not a blend. And honestly I lucked out there because it was overcast so I didn't have to blast it to bring in the windows. I'm not as hung up on windows as I used to be. If there's a major view then I'm just shooting one shot for that and cutting it in in post, other than that I'm just trying to bring some detail from the outside in.

What I really need to work on now is my processing speed. These things are taking me 2 hours to process. Here's what I do if anyone has any ideas.......D/L from card, create 2nd folder for stuff that needs to be blended and select and move thoses (3-4 shots each). Process those in PM and save to first folder. Import all of those into LR. Correct WB, crop, straighten.....ect. Create a final "Named" folder and export out of LR to that. Open that folder in Bridge / PS. fix walls & fine tune photos. In "image processor" I create 2nd set at 800 pixels & sharpen by action. Then I create the tour, upload the tour & upload the full res images to my site.Then email the tour & full res links & smaller images to agent. I used to be able to do them in a hour, but now it gotten to 2 because I'm so damn picky.

My favorite from a shoot a couple days ago. Things are picking up as I'm getting better (go figure)...went from 1-2 shoots a week to 6 this week. WooHoo!

Did you hose down the driveway for this shot or had it finished raining? Either way, I think the shiny driveway adds to the photo a bit. It helps direct your eye away from the dented garage door.

One of my favorite images.

I had just rained so it had puddles and looked terrible. We wet the rest with a hose. I actually had told them I would need to come back another day for the outside shots because it was raining.........but then of course after I got about 3 miles away I saw a huge patch of blue sky opening up, so back I went.

But yea, I like that too. Normally I only do that at night but since it's cooling down now I might have to add that to my bag of tricks.

The rain worked out good for the main gate shot too-
