Is this flash setup a good start for real estate?

Well I dabbled in real estate photography for a few months. Not sure how much you are being paid but for the amount I was getting it was not worth putting anything extra work in at the locations other than my DSLR and my 580 EX II attached to it. I just bounced my flash.

My secret. I got very good using LR - particularly shadows, highlights. whites and blacks. Add a little exposure comp, WB, clarity and WB and you can do wonders.

Also are you doing panos? I found this software was best. I could render a 360 degree in 30 seconds after importing the images. The only negative I had read is if the overlapping images do not align it is not the easiest software to go in and correct manually. Actually I found the easiest one difficult - for me anyway. Secret is to be careful when taking the shots. I think it failed only once. I tested about 1/2 dozen pano software.

Careful shooting rooms with no info. I learned if there is no furniture, pictures, etc things don't go so well. No info for overlaps. I read that photogs place coloured sticky notes on the walls. I just told my employer it failed.

I'm just here to learn but wanted to comment on this:

They look great from what I can see.

Yep, great lighting. Many shots just need to be brought down a 1/3. Seems like you're a ceiling lover :D
