If you are in the service area that extends from Seaside FL to New Orleans LA, and you want the absolute best in real estate photography, you really should give me a call. All the buzz in the industry is about HDR photos, so we have jumped on board. It was brought to my attention that many may not know what HDR means, so I've inserted my answer from below:

"Thats a GREAT question. By definition HDR means "High Dynamic Range". High dynamic range (HDR) images enable photographers to record a greater range of tonal detail than a given camera could capture in a single photo. This opens up a whole new set of lighting possibilities which one might have previously avoided—for purely technical reasons. Simply put, HDR images eliminate blown out windows, they make everything "warm and cozy". This process eliminates the need for costly lighting equipment to buy or carry around, which in turn enables us to further reduce our rate"

Our still photography rate has NOT CHANGED so this is an amazing value. If you would like to know more, simply send me a message. Our quality of product is top notch and our turn around time is 2 days. Thanks for reading!

Hi there!

james,

My understanding is that HDR photograpy is not how you shoot, but rather which cameras you use. Like high end Canons would be capable of that?

Hi Olga, the camera you shoot with can make a difference, but very little. The end result actually comes out during processing. HDR photography utilizes braketed exposures from darkest to brightest to get the best possible lighting. Keeping this in mind, the only requirement camera wise is you will need to be able to set the exposures manually. Each image has to be exactly the same, so shooting without a tripod would be pointless.

High RESOLUTION images would need the higher end cameras most of the time...HOWEVER, images used for online viewing such as Realtor.com and MLS its really not necessary to have extremely high resolution. Its only necessary when using images for print.

When we process we use several different programs to get the best result. It takes a little time and undersatnding of the programs, but in the end its all about enhacing the homes beauty in order to make it look its best.
