Thank you for saying this! I am also shocked that people put so much effort into aerial views, when a 360 panorama allowing a visual walk through is SO much more useful to the average buyer or renter.
Sheesh.... talk about misapplied effort! I think people just like to play with their drones...

I am just surprised more use of 360 degree panos (done wisely) are not utilized more in RE. They are simply more useful to the prospective buyer!

Try the HDR (JPEG) on your SONY RX10 if you have not done so already .....although it works better with a manual controlled lens....

The HDR works ok, I get better results shooting arw files. The fixed exposure intervals don't always work well for certain subjects, and darker areas usually end up getting noisy. I only adjust Are you saying that an electronically (focus and zoom by wire) will somehow affect HDR results? How so? The lens uses manual aperture control.

Some of the lower priced homes are never ready for photos. I spend an extra hour waiting as the owner moved things around. Also most of the MLS boards restrict you to the size of your pix. We can shoot up to 12 MP. It used to be 6. We were also limited to 12 pix. Now we up to 50.I felt like it was going duck hunting with a bazooka. I do use a wide angle, but try not to distort.

Sure, that may be one way to taggle this, I hope it works nicely for you! I myself would not approach this without using flashes, but everybody to its own! Good luck and hopefully lots of fun!!
peters... I didn't mention that I would bring, as backup, an off camera flash/radios...But only if it is needed... I have taken shots in my own home and found that I could equalize the outside light with the interior ambient, using the ambient method.... Of course for those rooms that don't have windows that are problems I would consider using bounce flash...

Hmm, most high end sales around here are trending to videos as opposed to stills and the run of the mill listings the agents want the cheapest costs they can get.

You can always downsample your image to 12 mp.

I sold real estate for a number of years. I would have gladly paid your fee to expedite a sale.
Please share some of your work.

All the above posts talk about lighting. I don't shoot real estate, but I will comment on a pet peeve of mine as I love to look at homes posted on Zillow. I cringe every time I see a house shot in wide angle. I know they are trying to make the house look spacious, but when a refrigerator looks six feet wide you know the whole house has been distorted with a wide angle lens.
Not so much trying to make it look spacious as it is trying to show as much of the room as you can.

That's exactly what I have found that works for the little bit of this type of work I do, mostly rental apartments and duplexes. I have a fairly powerful flash (Canon 580EX) that is more than enough to light up the interior. Sometimes it might require a little trial and error with the flash. The results are far better and natural looking than HDR.May 15, 2018 22:03:02 #

Billnikon,
How would you take this photo?
I have on camera flash pointed up to the ceiling and a flash from the right pointed up to the ceiling.
Lots of burn out. 10-20 Sigma lens at 10mm on a D5500 Nikon. The two flashes are Sunpaks 383's manual.

No, client wants the ambience of daylight. I do have designers who only want evening photos.
