Fotoshooting - House for Rent in Thielle/NE
Sunday, July 4, 2010 at 14:05 Last week, Laurent Bourqui, a coworker and a very good friend asked me to take some pictures of his house. He aquired an appartement and is now looking for someone who rents his lovely house in Thielle, near Marin/Neuchâtel. We met on 17:30 to get some nice shots from the outside. Unfortunately the weahter situation was not easy for photographing. It was cloudy without any sunshine most of the time. Almost all pictures came out with very little contrast. Then I tried exposure bracketing with 3 shots +/- 1 stop to make an exposure fusion later on with Photomatix. I would say the result is ok.
After maybe half an hour, we changed to the inside of the house. I used my favorite combo for indoor real estate shooting, the Olympus E-3 with the Zuiko Digital 9-18mm/f4-5.6 and two RC enabled Olympus flashes. Compared to my other sessions I had an assistent this time, Laurent supported me with positioning one of the two flashes. And that was very practical. I tried to set up the flashes according to the natural light to avoid artificial light effects. But this was not always easy and I did not succeed all the time. Indoor real estate shooting takes time. There were six rooms plus kitchen, toilets and floors to photograph. I had one hour, since I had an appointment with my wife later on. This makes about 5 minutes per scene, and that kept me very busy. I have set the camera to manual mode, aperture to f5.6, metering to spot and flash control to TTL for most scenes. When entering the room I pointed the camera to the window and set the exposure value to have the window correctly exposed. Then I made several shots with different compositions and flash configurations. If I had to much light even at 1/250s I further stopped down a little bit.
After all I am quite happy with the output, though I could have done better, especially with some more time. Anyway I hope that Laurent Bourqui may use these photos and will find somebody who will rent his nice house very soon. If you are interested, just contact me, I will redirect you to Laurent Bourqui.
