Chris Canhamthe - The first part
Real Estate Photography in the ACT is a lot like other styles of shooting where the best moments to photo a property (depending on whether the sun is rising or falling) at Dusk or at Dawn.
The cleverest preference is Dusk (as there are a few photographers responsible enough to get up early to ) or let me slightly reword thatthere is not really enough money in Real Estate Photography in the ACT that would say hello to the morning so to do shoots, So the tail end of the day is in most cases the go.
When taking photos for Real Estate or Architecture ,what we must do is to combine the "ambient" or "available" Light that is by the building with the Natural Light in the Sky.
There is usually a 3-5 minute window of chance when this occurs that you will have time leading up to the dusk shoot where you can make a few options and then take the money shots the light is just beautiful.
Tip--- Get the vendor of the property to all the interior and external lights for your shot and open all the curtains/blinds so that you will have the limit of light that is being emitted by the building.
Camera to Camera I shoot predominately with a Nikon D3S which can pull off fabulous handheld work at higher ISO ratings but more often I set to a tripod and stop down the ISO and shutter speed while keeping the F stop at around 8-11 for Maximum Depth of field ( this idea that Digital technology generally maxes out with DSLRs at the aforementioned F stop setting) is a somewhat common one compared with Photographers worldwide I have come to understand through my own photography and research but note this was not always the case, where shooting with Transparency film for example pre the Digital age the idea was that the higher the F stop ieF 22 or thereabouts was always the way to max deepness of field. This is the end of Part 1 of 2 please look for part 2 once I have written it.
