These few tips and tricks will help you with your fashion in the real estate photography when you are shooting in the night for your real estate photo shoot.
Camera settings for your real estate night photography
It is still best to set a camera to the manual mode, so you may be able to experiment to look for the combination of the aperture and the shutter speed which can provide with the best result. The best way is to initially set an aperture, and then, concentrate on the information of a light meter of a camera to select a shutter speed. Make the test shots and then check for the outcome display. When an image is really that bright, lessen a shutter speed, then too dark increases. Remember that the optimal exposure, base on the electronics a camera gives that bright a picture. Decrease an exposure through 1-2 stop, then the outcome will become more realistic.
Do not touch your camera
When applying the long exposure, even press a shutter will ruin your photo shoot. If a camera has an ability to control through the remote control, then use it. Except, use a built-in timer stoppage for the shutter. The real estate night photo shots rarely involve immediate and haste response.
Night Song
Cautiously analyze a property before taking the real estate picture.
- How does it will affect your real estate image?
- On the contrary, what is lit too bright?
- What parts or sides of the property will be in the dark?
Always think about your light. Great contrasts in between dark and bright objects are really important when taking real estate image at night. Just feel free to apply zoom or the base to locate the point which can permit obtaining the optimal arrangement, where there can be 3/4 of the frame, disappointed in total darkness or its opposite, “broken” with the bright light.
Use a “Golden Mean” if you choose the Aperture
When selecting aperture, use a “Golden mean”, but there is no definitive rule. The hub ground makes sense in locating empirically, for the exclusive lens. Even costly expert lenses do not always give their best picture to a maximum and minimum aperture values. Applying “mean” you locked yourself and increased the opportunity of taking the sharp and the good night real estate picture.
Use some effects
Clamping aperture will not just increase the depth of the field that will permit you to take clarity in the background and on the front, but can also permit you to turn a light in the “radiant” glow that night gives an image that special atmosphere.
Use a “Mirror Lock-Up”
If you are taking pictures in the evening, it is just to remove any camera shake. Counting those that take place during the moment of raising a mirror in your SLR camera, and so it’s it is strongly suggested to use a “Mirror Lock-Up” where the pre-mirror-up typically lives somewhere in an advanced settings.
