I wanted to run through what I did for photgraphy on a recent shoot of a loft I listed. You can see all the shots at 35 Riverwalk Way Lowell MA.
I am finding I am using HDR or I should say the exposure fusion feature of Photomatix more and more. Its very quick once you get a system down and can give excellent results for real estate photography. This particular unit was about 40 feet long and 23 feet wide with 5 massive windows and very low light levels for the interior.
Here is the best interior shot from one single frame I could get some window detail but the interior goes dark and gets muddy.
On this particular shot I did nine exposure all 1 stop apart. 4 shots under exposed, 4 shot overexposed. You can see the 9 photos. To get window detail you lose the interior and to get the interior exposed properly the windows blow out and flare.
With a run through the Photomatix program using exposure fusion I combined the above exposures into one. This is the final result after a quick run through Photoshop Elements.
Photomatix is relatively inexpensie and you can use any camera that you can control exposure, but you need a tripod!! This is pretty much what I do for most of my listing when a homeowner takes the time to stage and prepare their home for the real estate market.
