I have been using a process called HDR for my real estate photos for a couple of years now because I get an image that brings out the details. Great photography is a critical element of internet marketing. Buyers want to see a lot of pictures. The pictures advertise the home.
This Rossmor loft has a wall of nine foot high windows and with the HDR imagining I can show some of what the view looks like. This picture shows every detail including that one of the walls was partially repainted or touched up.
Unit 206 500 Robert street N St. Paul, MN
This unit is for sale for $89,900 and is a genuine artists loft and yes pets are allowed.
What software do you use Teresa? I’ve been researching different applications to integrate into my photography. Do you have a recommend? Thanks
I have tried a couple different programs but keep coming back to photomatix. At first it was really hard to use but over the years it has gotten easier and easier.
Well, HDRI is certainly useful for providing lots of information. However, information by itself does not necessarily make for a compelling marketing photo. Real estate photography frequently must be done under unfavorable ambient lighting conditions, and there is only so much that can be done to compensate for that with digital processing. A skilled interiors photographer knows how to use supplementary lighting to compensate for poor ambient lighting or to enhance ambient lighting that is already pretty good.
By the way, you will rarely find true (that is, 32-bit, moving point) HDR used in higher budget interior and architectural photography because photographers and their clients do not generally consider the quality of the HDR process to be high enough for their needs.
The good thing about HDRI is that it is processing. If it isn’t good enough for some we just don’t process the pictures that way. With good interior HDRI the picture should just look better and I don’t think anyone would object to that.
