Our practice has been hectic here in San Diego which is why I haven't posted for a while. Anyway, I wanted to share some of our latest pole photography and high dynamic range blending photos. The home is a little beach cottage across from the library, and not far from the ocean. However, it doesn't have ocean view. So, it was important that we show how close the home was to the water (walk to beach). We also need to present the home in a nice way since it is an Encinitas beach cottage.
First, the front view of the home. We put our Canon 5d with 24mm tilt/shift lens on our pole rig, and it was up about 12 ft off the ground. But the street was also a few feet higher than the front door, so the camera was actually up a bit higher. This is a nice pole shot because it leads into the back yard photo (later in the brochure) of the large back yard. For this photo, it's just important to see the trees and the depth behind the house of where the trees are. Also, this is the cover of the brochure. I wanted to show you the cover so that you could see the fun little map that I created so that we could present how close the home was to all the action and the water.
As we turn to the interior, we have a blended HDR photo of the living room. Two sets of images were taken to create this photo. A color-balanced strobe image which gave a great backdrop, and an HDR image with some local contrast and saturation amped up to really make the picture pop and give it a 3d effect.
Next we have another interior shot (I picked one of the kid's bedrooms). The technique is similar to the living room.
Finally, I wanted to show another pole photo. This is the library just a few doors away. The back patio of the library has ocean view, and I really cranked up the camera pretty high (25 ft) to get this photo. But, it really does show you how close you are to the ocean.
Anyway, I hope those are some fun photos. Feel free to post any questions and I will try to reply quickly.
