Linda,
Great Photography, do you use any software to enhance the photo. I am looking to get a DSLR, look it the Nikon D40 will be a good choice.

Jon, Paul and Ring…..o….never mind…..and Dan. Thanks for the comments!
Paul, I currently only use Photoshop, and with this shot, there wasn’t much post involved. The lighting was perfect. I just had to remove a flash glare that was in the window and also brightened a bit.

Is there much post processing involved in your photographs? Like Enblend, or Lightroom adjustments?
Tks – Great work!

Thanks John.

1. Tirpod…always.
2. Its the clear Fong. And my technique…hmmm, put it on and go! Sometimes it’s pointed straight up, sometimes in front.
3. I use auto white balance. I’ve found it to be very accurate and reliable.

Very nice job balancing ambient and flash. Three questions for you.

1. Tripod or hand held?

2. Which Fong Light Sphere do you use (he has several models) and can you describe your technique with it briefly?

3. Do you tend to use an Auto WB, one of the presets, or a custom WB?

Thanks – J

Thank you so much everyone.
This house was a joy to shoot! I felt excitement with each shot, and I just knew it was going to be one which produced a few for the portfolio!
We talk so much about lighting, and how it can add dimension, depth and life to a shot. I believe the natural light at the late time of day had a great deal to do with how well this particular shoot turned out.
This was also only the second shoot with my new Nikon/Sigma/SB/Fong setup, so it was really thrilling to see these types of results.

Thanks again,
Linda

Congratulations Linda. Well deserved! Great set of images from that house and I agree with Bryce – it really does feel like a tour of the home. Top work!
