A thread for real estate, architectural, and interior design photography

A fine first attempt I'd say! Good work! I wish I'd paid more attention to the verticals on my earlier shots.

Thank you. I looked through here and asked some photog friends for tips before I went on this shoot.

thanx mate

My last set for this week, and probably for a little while too Anyway, it's a new build for a developer and it's currently on the market. As such it's unfurnished which I find makes it tricky to keep photos looking interesting. As a side note, I've used the 17mm TS-E a few times on this shoot and I'm really impressed with how it handled lens flare as I had to shoot directly into the sun a few times. Considering its goldfish bowl front element and lack of lens hood, I think it performed really well. There a few spots of flare but on the whole I managed to photoshop them out ok, although it is still present in the first shot in particular.

Sorry if someone has already asked this, I'm sure it has come up, but I couldn't find much searching about it-

Have any of you used or looked into using RC drones for aerial real estate photography? I have been looking into purchasing a drone to start adding another dimension to my capabilities and believe it would be a huge asset especially for high-end homes and commercial projects. I was curious if any of you have experience with this and if you didn't mind sharing how much you have been able to charge for strictly aerial photos with a drone?

Thanks in advance!

I have been looking into this for a while. Basically, from what I can tell after reading through the FAA stuff is, the FAA hasn't said you can't do this but they haven't said you can either. Essentially, they're ignoring the problem until there is a problem.

There is nothing specifically saying you can't do it--no laws that I've found. However, the FAA handles all commercial aircraft. Since we'd be selling the photos/video we're taking with drones they would fall under commercial use.

I have heard of people doing this without any problems. However, I've also heard of people doing it and getting a nasty letter from the FAA. I believe, basically, as long as you don't piss anyone off, you'd probably be ok.

For me, I'm a bit concerned and haven't done it yet because of where I am--Jacksonville, FL. We have a Coast Guard base, Naval base and a Naval Air Station and constantly have military aircraft flying around all over the place. I'm thinking they may be a little less lenient in my area so I've not done it yet in the hopes the FAA would get off their butts and get this figured out. Seems like they just want to continue to ignore it.

I've started up a thread for architectural images shot with speedlites or strobes. Please feel free to share your images!

Shot a kitchen for a local designer this week. I've been almost exclusively in the HDR camp (for interior and exterior design shots), but I really want to "graduate" to the style of work that Mike and a lot of you others are doing with thoughtful lighting. This is a composite of three photos, shot with two 430EXII flashes (in umbrellas) and PW Flex and Mini triggers. I'd appreciate any feedback. It's pretty bright, but that's what the designer likes to see.

Maybe a little overprocessed (?):

bonbridge i think the first one looks great.

Andy what program do you use for your composite hdrs?

DonJ, for actual HDRs, I use HDRPro (Nik) in Aperture. For this composite, I used Pixelmator (Mac only) after processing the individual shots in Aperture.
