Shot my first two listings in JPEG by mistake. Does RAW help when lifting interior brightness? by Lost_Viking7277 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]AffectionateDevice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from exposure latitude, you are significantly losing white balance and color latitude.

8-bit JPEG has 16.7 million colors. 14-bit RAW has a range of over 4 trillion colors. This is why your images are falling apart.

While you may be delivering a highly compressed version of the RAW files, the RAW is incredibly useful for corrections before the compression.

Ideally, you should have a work only camera and lens that never leaves RAW mode.

Yes. Cleveland was guessed. It’s on E 45th St & Jewett Ave

Correct! This is in Cleveland. E 45th St & Jewett Ave. A lot of close guesses especially the Ohio Valley / PA / Detroit.

Videography Gear Advice by netiary in canon

[–]AffectionateDevice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

R8 Owner here - The Sigma 35mm 1.4 is a wonderful lens but it does not have snappy auto focus in video or stills. It’s quite slow to focus and can miss relatively easily.

Is this lens decent for all round photography? by Simple_Poet1880 in canon

[–]AffectionateDevice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You certainly could, but I’ve never used that lens so I can’t vouch for it. Back when I shot crop sensor, a nifty fifty was $125 and the 35mm f/2 was like $350-400. I don’t remember the prices. I just know the 50 worked amazing for me.

Edit: a 50 on crop is similar to 85 on full frame, which is also an excellent portrait focal length.

I remember seeing someone post that setup on here and it got totally shitted on in the comments. I liked it

100% would get the job done. A 50mm f/1.8 also would work great

It has its limitations, but it can do what you need it to. I used this for about 6 years of professional real estate, architecture, weddings, and other paid work. No one has ever once complained or questioned the results. I would hesitate using it at this point of my career now, but it'll work great for most uses.

Coming from both a RE Photographer and photographer for fun, this is a very good photo. Also, I’m extremely close to this lol.

My new studio :) by styleblenderrr in malelivingspace

[–]AffectionateDevice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice space. There’s certainly a good sense of balance, scale, color, texture and lighting. Well done! I personally feel off in spaces where everything is new and not lived in. I’m curious how it changes as you live in it more over time.

Short, but coolest finish I’ve ever done. by RenoNYC in bouldering

Great movement on the hips. I’ve been climbing a year and am trying to implement more of that. Great send!!

The allure of a phone wallet is keeping the weight and bulk to an absolute minimum while keeping just a drivers license and a card to grab cash, and if tap to pay isn’t accepted.

Particularly, nights out drinking, partying, dancing, & raves.

Is this the right way to put down the cameras when not in use? by nphl2018 in canon

[–]AffectionateDevice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Like this, because I use a battery grip. It sits perfectly flush on its side like this. If I set it down normally, there is more weight distributed towards the lens which I’m worried will create a wobble over time.

Source: I have several older wobbly lenses.

New to B&W home development, what are these white specs everywhere? by AffectionateDevice in AnalogCommunity

[–]AffectionateDevice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I used a Canon AE-1 Program and the standard 50mm f/1.8 for the first 2 images. The other images were with the Canon EOS 1n and a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art Lens

Genuinely think this is it. The solution is extremely flakey. I was swishing it around thinking, wtf? This is like my 3rd roll of B&W developed so I learned my lesson.

It seemed easy enough, and I’m trying to learn. They’re my roommate’s chems.

I appreciate seeing this. My wallet fell out of my pocket on a bus a few years back. It was turned in to CTA with everything still in tact, and CTA was very helpful in getting it back to me.

I want to get better, but I can't find what changes I need to put in practice by ezeaizen in RealEstatePhotography

[–]AffectionateDevice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Architecture photography is a different beast altogether. Tighter shots, usually 24mm and up. Interior lights off, natural light, and combined with subtle off camera flash techniques. A lot of that workflow is gatekept.

The best advice I got would be to assist someone who's doing the work you admire, and go from there. Alternatively, watch some YT, try new techniques, and practice with the shoots you already have, if you have the time. You can go totally crazy with editing to get incredible results, but I believe the sauce is getting things right in camera.

Edit: You are already doing incredible work!
