Nice, easy to understand, video. Thank you. I have spent the last 2 weeks experimenting with HDR, flambient and also HDR as the ambient shot and processing as a flambient shot. I found flambient to be the more successful approach, although HDR is appealing as it is so quick to shot and edit.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Flambient or HDR can look great if edited the right way. I tend to go with Flambient more as I find it easier to edit. It’s also not that much slower than HDR when shooting, once you get the hang of it. All the best!
what settings do you use? I have sony zve10 ii with 26MP and I shoot with tripod 10mm lens at F11 iso 100 in aperture priority mode 3 EV 3 bracket, BUT my windows dont look very good like you know that super clear exposure that shows the outdoor like there is no window at all there how do i do that or is it just the maximum capibility of my cameras? I got very good images but wanted to see if i can do something to get even more better looking photos, Thank you :)
Hi, I don't bracket when shooting Flambient? Are you shooting bracketed HDR and merging the images, as this can result in the windows not looking great. My settings are f8, ISO 400 (this allows more natural light and flash on the snesor) and I adjust the shutter speed to let more light in and adjust the flash amount depending on how dark the room is. I take an ambient shot first, then the flash shot, then I would take a window pull shot if required by raising the shutter speed and pointing the flash at the window, so everything is clear outside and it is easy to edit in photoshop using darken mode with a brush and layer mask if the window is then bright because I have pointed the flash directly at the window. I will do a video about this soon. If you search for Nathan Cool's video about window pulls, this is how I learnt. Thanks for watching.
Hi, I have them set at 95%. I've never really tested any other amount, this is what my A6700 is set at out the box, and has worked fine for me. Thanks for watching and commenting
Have you always used flambient, or have you ever tried to use the in-camera, HDR-merging capabilities of say an A6000? I have been quite impressed with my 200 dollar, used, A6000 for its ability to take multiple exposures and give this picture to you in one raw or Jpeg file (or both). I was wondering if you knew how this might stack up against flambient for interiors? If nothing else, it could make for a good "spaghetti-western shootout."
The Sony A6000 would be fine for shooting Real Estate. Any camera made in about the last 10 years is fine, as long as it has at least 20 MP and also shoots RAW, which all these camera's do. I did a video about the Sony ZV-E10 and how this can be used to shoot real estate on a budget, and this camera has the same sensor as the A6000. I shoot a mixture of flambient and HDR, just depends on the lighting situation. I probably shoot about 80% flambient and 20% HDR, as I find flambient easier to edit and you have more control over the lighting. HDR merge can be ok in some instances, but when it's a dull day and you have a lot of differnet light sources in the shot, it can look a bit dull and have a lot of colour casts. Especially here in the UK, when half the year is pretty dull, so a flash is necessary for me a lot of the time. I hope that helps and thanks for watching!
I use the Godox AD200, with the Godox trigger. It’s a great flash, very powerful but not too big. I will do a video about flash guns and triggers at some point. I would definitely recommend get an off camera flash, as you will be able to light the room much better. Also handy for other sorts of photography you are doing.

@ okay thankyou so much
How sensitive are your Zebras? Do they indicate full-blown highlights? My a7iv has options. Not sure what % to set. 😊
