5 Interior shots, R1

Go to last post
Perfect shots! Congratulation! How many postproduction? I think not so much. How do you light up the scene?

I like tat you work with tripod (as I think) that all lines are correct in angle.

By the way, I love the converter as well. Do you know the screenshade from http://www.camerabellows.com? The DSS4 works perfect!... :-)
 
Thanks for your kind comments.

Yes, I used a tripod (a Smith Victor model that I got at a yard sale for $3) I also used PTLens to eliminate the slight barrel distortion. I did slight curves adjusment, and slight perspective adjustment.
I use a wireless flash trigger, 2 Nikon Speedlights with umbrellas.
I love the R1 for these shots. The tilting display is a real back saver.

You certainly have a nice eye for design and photography. Great color, the R1 is a very nice camera. Nicely done!

Excellent pictures/work very nice.

You have inspired me today to try my best interior shot with my new P&S but I know I will not even be close to your work/equipment. :)

I come to this forum to lean and pick up tips from you guys (great forum & pictures/skill) and on your interior shots like what equipment you used to take those shots is very helpful.

Once again very nice.
 
Pictures and bathrooms look terrific.

Now be careful you don't let my husband near those lovely bathrooms :)

Nice lighting work and overall, you captured a natural warm feel to the setting. I feel you did try to cram in as much as you could, but in trying to, ended up with a neither here nor there feel. Couple of personal comments:
  1. 1 - The seam of the glass panels (of the shower, I guess) on the left is very disruptive. The half-open door too is distracting and causes an unusual imbalance. Zoom in to capture the basin counter and mirror area to exclude the glass seam (and door if possible).
  1. 2 - The shower feels abruptly cut off on the right with that seam again running through top to bottom. Panning more to tthe left and leaving out the seam (and showing more of the bath-tub) would work better.
  1. 3 - Mirror cut off, bad feng shui... ;-) And just looks abrupt. Pan more to the right to include the mirror or left to exclude it.
  1. 4 - The left has the recessed shelf cut off, better to start with a plain wall. The mirror is a nice touch as it adds another perspective as does the window. In fact, panning a little to the right to exclude the shelf on the left would include mroe of the window, which would have worked better.
  1. 5 - Almost perfect, except for that (door?) frame and cutt off mirror on the left. With this, a vertical shot might have worked better.
Of course, you were the photog on location, you call the shots as you see them. I am pointing out some things more as things to consider in future (if you agree with them in the first place) and as friendly critique, which I hope you take it as such.

Have a good day!

Your 4 'Cees' for photography: Crisp, Clean, Composed and Colourful

Thanks for very much for your comments. You obviously have a very discerning eye.
  1. 1 - The seam of the glass panels (of the shower, I guess) on the left is very disruptive. The half-open door too is distracting and causes an unusual imbalance. Zoom in to capture the basin counter and mirror area to exclude the glass seam (and door if possible).
As far as the aesthetics of the shot, I have to agree. However, I felt that including the glass and the door would give the judges a better perspective on the size and feel of the room. I shot with the door fully open, fully closed, and as shown. I think this was the best shot.
  1. 2 - The shower feels abruptly cut off on the right with that seam again running through top to bottom. Panning more to tthe left and leaving out the seam (and showing more of the bath-tub) would work better.
You're probably right.
  1. 3 - Mirror cut off, bad feng shui... ;-) And just looks abrupt. Pan more to the right to include the mirror or left to exclude it.
Abrupt, perhaps, but again, I felt I needed to show the door, and the reflected cabinetry is a plus. Panning left would show an un-interesting doorway.
  1. 4 - The left has the recessed shelf cut off, better to start with a plain wall. The mirror is a nice touch as it adds another perspective as does the window. In fact, panning a little to the right to exclude the shelf on the left would include mroe of the window, which would have worked better.
You're right. Or better yet, show less window, show more tub and entire shelf
  1. 5 - Almost perfect, except for that (door?) frame and cutt off mirror on the left. With this, a vertical shot might have worked better.
I did a vertical here as well, the horizontal looks better. I agree it would look better without the door frame.

Great photography. Beautiful design. Your house? You could get a mini fridge, sleeping bag, and hot plate and then rent it out 8-) Really beautiful looking bathroom.
