Several days ago a reader asked me what THE best setup for shooting real estate would be. Until then I’d always been asked what the cheapest one was. At the Seattle Workshop in April I had a chance to shoot with a Nikon D3 and 14-24mm f2.8 for about 20 minutes. I could tell then […]

It’s worth noting that both version 3 of Photomatix Pro and version 7.8 of PTgui Pro now both support exposure fusion.
I think this is significant particularly to real estate photographers because exposure fusion, I find, can give most of the benefits of HDR processing in a faster work flow. Sure, you can probably do better […]

It’s that time of the year- Wed Nikon announced 2 new bodies and several new lenses. For interior shooters the most significant announcements have to be the new full frame D3 and the Nikon AF-S 14-24 mm F2.8G ED
I’ve always felt that Nikon would eventually break down and offer a full frame DSLR. I’m […]

As the dpreview.com weekly newsletter said, Monday was Canon day since no less than 11 new Canon products were announced. Perhaps the most significant to real estate photographers was the Canon EF 14 mm F2.8 L II USM.
I associate this lens with real estate photographers because several accomplished real estate photographers I know use it. […]

Cheri Irwin reports that her new Manfrotto 682B monopod with retractable legs has sped up her work flow by helping keep her camera straight. She says:
“Since falling walls always seem to be an issue for us, especially those who shoot off-tripod, I found a really great item. I have been shooting on a tripod […]
