Hi all. Here is the short version. I wired a couple's 8,000 sq ft house out in the woods. They love deer, so I gave them a print of a deer that I had photographed. They loved the print, and acutally put it in their foyer. Their interior decorator started talking to them about wanting to show off their house at the local showcase of homes and on her website. They instantly reccomended me to photograph it. The decorator told me that, if all goes well, she will use me to photograph her other houses for web and brochures, and gladly pay me for me services. This will be my first paying job, woohoo, haha. I have never photographed a house before, so I am off to Barnes and Noble to spend a couple of hours studying the various Home magazines to see what the going thing is, and get a feel for what I need to do. I have about 2 weeks to prepare for it.

On to the question. I almost always do outdoor photography. What settings do you guys use for indoors? Most of the rooms are fairly dark, as it has a country cottage feel, but with Plasma TV's in nearly every room, ha.

Definitely do a search of the forums for architectural photography - this question was asked not too long ago and there were some good responses and links given.

Basically, though, you'll want to start off with an exposure that gives you details in the windows and then use multiple flash units inside to bring the light level up to acceptable levels.

I would recommend doing HDR.
