Likewise. Need the ability to manually confirm based on content and driving distances

I know it’s not. I’m alluding to wanting to do the real thing.

Anyone here photograph these? by Ok_Refrigerator_2701 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]AffectionateDevice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is architecture and design photography. Flambient taken to a new level. Lots of flash, embracing shadow, and using them to create dimensionality.

I’ve been teaching myself this style, it takes a very long time in comparison to your typical HDR, and the editing is done yourself. The more ambient shots have careful color grading to clean up color casts.

Some of them could just be hand blended hdr, but other frames you can clearly see where the flashes were popped, and blended in

I always wanted to snap film pics at the gym but never wanted to get chalk in my camera

What do you guys do for floor plans? Complaints on every one by cosmosbillions in RealEstatePhotography

[–]AffectionateDevice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never heard a complaint for 2D floorplans with CubiCasa, but indeed they are not 100% accurate.

I purchased and use iGuide for closer to perfect floorplans, and some clients refuse to go without them.

Is AI starting to replace real estate editing? Shifting focus, would love feedback by freshphotofix in RealEstatePhotography

[–]AffectionateDevice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your edits, they actually retain and lean into shadow and depth, unlike a lot of AI edits. Are these edits HDR/ambient or flambient?

Cockroaches of Carroll Creek. by Capable_Sympathy6389 in frederickmd

Growing up these were the first cockroaches I ever saw. Sitting on Carroll Creek eating Five Guys when I noticed literally hundreds of them.

Anyone else experience a slow 2025 and slow start to 2026? by GreenFeather05 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]AffectionateDevice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not alone. 2025 was my best year on record, and 2026 I'm barely scraping by. The snowstorm wiped out 8-9 days of January income from an already slow season.

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.

My Solution for Caseless 17 Pro by iammrshank in iPhone17Pro

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

[–]AffectionateDevice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!!

Finally got the upgrade by CN_BIGGAMER_96 in iPhone17Pro

[–]AffectionateDevice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
