My Latest Adventure: Luxury Real Estate Photography

Just the other day I got an opportunity to do something new.  Whenever I get a chance to photograph something new, I jump on it.  I am now photographing luxury real estate in Orlando.  This particular house is $5,000,000 and is located in a private golf community in Orlando.  Let me know what you guys think of the photos!  I only got to photograph the interior, but I have a shoot this week where I will be doing both interior and exterior photographs.  I’ll be sure to post photos from that shoot when they are done.

The main technique used for interiors photography is a lot of HDR.  I layered between 3 and 9 exposures per image in this shoot and the lens I used was a Canon 17-40mm f/4L on a Canon 5D mark ii body.  If you have any questions about the photos, tweet me or post on my facebook wall and I’ll reply as soon as I can.

Learning From Your Photos: The Immediate Key to Better Photography

The other day I was doing product photos when I realized something that I did well.  I learn from every single photograph that I take.  I would take a photo, look at it, and then make changes to improve the shot.  I believe this is a key that every photographer needs to learn.  I’m going to walk you through the photos I took from the first to the last and point out what I did in each photograph to improve from the one before.  Alright, time to go Darwin on my photos!

So You’re Looking to Buy a DSLR, Eh?

As DSLRs become more affordable, more people are rushing to their local camera store and picking up their very own camera to try their hand at photography.  I’m being asked more each day, “what camera is best for (insert price here)” and “I’m going to get a camera this week, what do you recommend?”  Although you would think that I could spit out an answer without thinking about it too much, I wouldn’t feel right doing that.  When someone comes to me with a question, I feel the least I can do is give my best answer based on the information I’m given. So what do I do?  I answer their question with the following queries of my own:

– Are there any particular features you want the camera to have?

– How much are you looking to spend?

– What do you intend on using the camera for?

Once I have these answers, I’m almost always able to help out.

2013 Sunrises & Sunsets Calendar

 Update: They’re Here!!!

I have been looking into creating a calendar for quite some time now, and I suppose this is the right time to make one now that the 2012 year is coming to a close in a few months.  After asking a few people for their opinion on a theme, I have decided it will be sunrises and sunsets.  With the help of my girlfriend, we narrowed down all of my sunrise and sunset photographs down to the 12 best in our opinion.  Here are the results:
