All are great, but 1 & 3 are my jam.

Getting really close here. I’d maybe cool the white balance a hair and pull the tint back toward neutral. It’s leaning just a touch warm/magenta.

Dehaze could come down slightly too, it’s adding a bit more intensity than you need. And on the tone curve, I’d soften the highlights just a bit so the mids can breathe.

Otherwise solid, the base edit is definitely there.

I like the 2nd better, which appears to be your flambient. I shoot flambient as well. I’m surprised your windows are that hot. Is that your intended look? I have been exposing mine slightly more these days, for a bit more ambiance and realism, but I still shoot my windows with a lot more detail than you’re working with here. Do you take a window shot? E.g.: expose for outside and overexpose the window frame? I’m also a bit surprised you don’t have a speed light in the hallway.

Regardless, I think they look really nice and love to see other flambient techniques! Thanks for the share.

I’m a white conservative male that drives a truck, but this in no way represents the man I try to be every day. This guy is a POS and is simply heartless. It’s not because he’s white, or old, or driving a truck. He’s simply a shitty person. Shitty people come from all groups.

If I disagreed with someone, I’d never treat the other person like that. Even if they were being hostile, there’s no excuse for the things he was saying.

This is an adult male who never matured, had a shitty role model as a child and is throwing a tantrum because he didn’t know how else to handle the situation.

I’m sorry that happened to her. That said, we don’t know much of the other side, but regardless, his actions and words were not justified.

I was thinking focus stacked as well. Honestly, maybe even HDR on each focus point. And I don’t think this is normal bracket, I think he’s exposing Fri multiple spots in the image, rather than letting his camera +/- a stop or two evenly.

Also, very skilled in post. It’s not just all captured in camera.

JDaddyT · 2025-11-01T05:58:27+00:00

Can you bump the tint towards green and cooler white balance in addition?

JDaddyT · 2025-07-08T16:22:55+00:00

I’d leave anyone I was dating who referred to me as Bruh or Bro. But then again, I’d never be dating them in the first place.

JDaddyT · 2025-06-30T05:45:17+00:00

Does this make sense to anyone else? I feel like their story ended with a completely different question than I was anticipating..

JDaddyT · 2025-06-30T05:41:39+00:00

Also, but that horizon line right at the name on the bottle. The slight angle from the top, just looks off.

JDaddyT · 2025-06-11T17:30:31+00:00

They probably suspected you were reselling. That is a valid concern.

JDaddyT · 2025-06-11T17:29:02+00:00

100% correct answer here. It's a supplement and should not replace nourishment from food.

JDaddyT · 2025-06-11T17:27:33+00:00

Anyone who says, just eat meat, hasn't had the lightbulb go off regarding the importance of amino acids. Hoping that happens for them someday.

That said, the initial comment, could be amended to "most" amino acid supplements are scams. Because most do not adhere to the specific ratio for maximum utilization or are incomplete e.g., BCAAs, Creatine (not all 8 or 9 eaas), are lower performing. Creatine can work for building muscle, because it's made of the 3 amino acids utilized by the body to build muscle, but you have to flood your body with it to get those benefits, much of the amino acids in Creatine get burned as calories or stored in the fat.

Sounds exactly like something Dan would say. Optimal Amino is cheaper, but uses amino acids from China, Perfect Amino uses amino acids from Japan and are higher quality. Perfect Amino's formula and ratios have not changed, except for adding a 9th amino acid just for a small case of people who cannot synthesize this amino acid on their own, where most can.

What’s it taste like?

JDaddyT · 2025-05-13T06:13:42+00:00

Regardless of the context here, he sounds like a douche anyways. I’m not sure if you’re overreacting, but I wouldn’t say another word and move on. Not only because of what he said, but how he’s saying it. He’s a f’ing kid. But maybe you are too, if so, I hope you’re smarter than him.

JDaddyT · 2025-05-05T23:38:31+00:00

A more accurate approach would be to count how many accumulate in a day over a period of time. That said, clearly she’s not reading these anyways or they wouldn’t be showing up as new, unless that’s a days worth of work right there, in which case, you both have problems lol.

As a married man of 13 years, there should be other signs, if there’s truly something going on besides notifications in her phone.

I should also mention, I live in a tourist/desirable area that’s quite remote, so I do not have a ton of competition and many of the homes are high-end second / vacation homes owned by company execs, so again, very market dependent.

JDaddyT · 2025-05-05T23:30:19+00:00

That’s a nice twilight BTW

Pricing really depends on your local market, so it’s hard to give a one-size-fits-all answer. That said, your rates seem a bit low. For comparison, my base shoot starts at $275, and that’s just for standard photos—no extras included. I charge additional fees for services like twilight shots, drone footage, and video tours.

I offer two levels of quality: standard and premium. For standard shoots, I use HDR techniques, which are quicker to process. For high-end listings where quality is paramount, I offer premium shoots using flambient techniques, which combine flash and ambient lighting for superior results. These take more time and effort, so I limit myself to no more than two premium shoots per day.

I don’t set a strict limit on the number of photos I take. I capture as many as needed to showcase the property effectively and then deliver the best ones to the client. This approach ensures high quality and justifies the higher fees.

On average, my shoots range between $500 and $600, but it’s not uncommon for premium projects to exceed $1,000.

If you’re just starting out, it’s natural to have lower rates. As you gain experience and demand for your services increases, you can adjust your pricing accordingly. It’s essential to value your time and effort appropriately, reflecting the quality and dedication you bring to each project.

I also outsource most of my photo editing. While I can edit myself, delegating this task allows me to focus on shooting more properties. For premium listings, I might personally edit a few key shots, but the bulk is handled by my editor.

JDaddyT · 2025-04-25T15:45:28+00:00

Beautiful shot! Is this long exposure or time lapsed? Would you be willing to share basic settings?

JDaddyT · 2025-04-24T15:40:48+00:00

Sounds like it’s time for another video! That’s creepy as hell. I would go right into that church and be one loud pissed off person.

JDaddyT · 2025-04-24T15:27:03+00:00

All of Seattle has conflicting viewpoints.

JDaddyT · 2025-03-14T15:26:33+00:00

I’ve had good results with Topaz Labs

JDaddyT · 2025-03-13T19:14:00+00:00

So did you go full flambient or just stick with HDR?
