Yes .....

Select the area that is yellow and just add a hue/saturation adjustment layer for it. Reduce the yellows to your taste.

As soon as i get a couple payments from clients i am getting the A7rIII!

rent one and an adapter, see if you really like it...I cam from 10 years of Canon and have no regrets, but that is just my opinion...

Im actually meeting a friend tomorrow who has one to have a look!

The DR on my a7RII has been great. I still blend my exposures using luminosity masks but now I need to blend fewer exposures together.

I thought I would share these initial images that I edited from a recent architecture photoshoot.

These are from a building in town called the North Alamo Building which recently completed a major renovation.

The a7riii would be good for video too?

Youtube some video samples...it's crazy good. These new Sony cameras have amazing video DR and can film useable stuff up to 51000-102000

hi, I've been doing the photos for the owners/agents, etc for a while now and got my first designer client. I'm not sure what to charge from them. For the agent/ower, it's fine to license photos for a year and I have a pricing model for that. But how to deal with the designers/architects/d​ecorators, etc? The photos have a bigger lifetime for them, I cannot license portfolio shots. How do you deal with these clients?

Impossible question to answer without knowing where you live and what the market is like.

For instance, here, for an interior designer, I would probably charge $350 to shoot a bathroom and kitchen. In most areas in the US, that's laughably cheap, but the reality is in my market if I charge more, the companies aren't big enough to pay more and will compromise quality for price. I live in an area of only 120,000-150,000 people and interior design companies don't do work like they do in big cities. Luckily, I am usually able to knock out big construction jobs for the architect (sometimes multiples if one did exterior, one did interior design), the business themselves, and the construction company. That's where I usually make my bigger jobs.

Thanks!
And how much would you charge for the same job done for the RE agent? I'm trying to figure out the general ratio, like designers are charged at 200% or similar.
I live in Sydney, Australia.

Well for an entire house shoot (say average 2500 sq ft home) I would charge $150 in my market.

150 for a whole house shoot?

Real estate, yes. For a custom home, $250-300 for an average home if it's for a builder/commercial use. $300-400 for higher end homes (assuming no addons like twilight etc)


So I sold my a7iii already and just bought the a7riii haha. The a7iii is crazy good and has amazing DR, but man I'm excited for 42MP and a higher resolution screen/EVF.
