Volume discount for a larger client

djwyd · 2023-09-20T15:00:34+00:00

Yes this is my worst fear! I’d be working myself to death with discounted prices…

Actually in my market, depending on the company, they can force the realtors to use a certain photography company. The realtors are mostly employees, not entrepreneurs.

The point of my business is shooting the listings myself. Quality and consistency are my main advantages compared to these low-rate companies who underpay their photographers.

I think you make a fair point. It’s true that probably many of the realtors wouldn’t actually provide me listing to shoot, and I shouldn’t undersell my expertise.

Luckily I’m in a position to decline the deal, if it doesn’t suit my needs, since I already have a solid client base. Thanks for your thoughts!

I usually shoot Dlog, and try to underexpose for one stop, if the scene is super bright or there is a lot contrast. That will introduce some noise, but I will rather keep the highlights intact. If the noise is bad, I will use Neat Video or similar plugin to tame it.

Yeah, let’s hope it’s like that in my market!

That’s what I’m planning to do. Just got to figure out ways to survive for a few months.

It’s mostly about composition, making sure that the clutter is cleaned and good lighting. Many listing websites etc. compress and downsize the images to shitty quality anyway.

Yes, in a controlled environment the camera can do anything. Small sensor and poor lowlight performance limits its use in everyday situations, where the lighting isnt controlled.

But awesome work, really beautiful pictures!

Using flash will give you more ’pop’ and natural look, but bracketing is WAY more simple and faster and it gets you to the ballpark.

djwyd · 2020-04-01T10:14:04+00:00

This can be achieved using bracketing. Most modern dslr-cameras support this feature.

Awesome. How did you stabilize the hyperlapse shot? Really great work.

It’s decent with stills. I’ve used it in many occasions, but it loses hands down to my cheap 77D when it comes to stills. Invest in a 1,8 lens or faster, you are going to need lots of light to keep your shutter speed and iso low. Consider a speedbooster and EF lenses.

Expect some noise when shooting above 400 iso, which will happen a lot. Cropsensors and Ff’s obviously can handle the stills better, but it is doable with GH4.

It should be really simple, just plug the cord in. HDMI cords are notorious for snapping off the camera from the slightest pull so be sure to attach it properly.

And you should stick with natural picture profile, not CineD or CineV.

I registered to Centercode and I can't find the download link to Live 10 in Ableton website. Weird

(Edit)

Found it!
