Just a few more everyone.

I know there are probably a heap of questions we could ask all night, but I don't want to hold up Scott too long.

Regards,

Peter

Scott -- Is there a favorite part of a home that you like to shoot?, If so, why that section/feature of the home?

Guerrilla photography .....Thomas & I often call it "combat architectural photography".

First, I hate computers. So I'd rather spend the time on-site rather than fix it later. That's me.
Second, it's amazing how quickly you can put together a setup, once you practice it a bit. It's very intuitive after a while. And there are some basic setups that will work in 90% of all bedrooms, for example. So I start a house by shooting the bedrooms and bathrooms, just to "warm up". I can fly through those pretty fast. Then I spend more time in the core of the house. Still, 15 minutes on a shot is an excruciatingly long time when you only have 90 minutes to get it all done!

Twilight can make for some fantastic shots. I rarely do this, though, I shoot through the day and then it's home for dinner, and (ugh) post.
Around here, the great Bay views happen in the morning, so I guess that's my favorite time of day. I don't get to dictate that very much, though.

Doug, I love kitchens. Love 'em. Partly because they're such a challenge, and partly because I think they "speak" to that itch I was talking about way up at the beginning of this.

And then, weirdly, bedrooms.
I hate shooting bathrooms, even the big ornate ones. Just doesn't do anything for me.

Peter is away for some minutes.
I think that gives us room for one last question, who wants to tune in?

Scott,

Do you use stiching/panorama photos in your work?

Thanks, Peter, it's been a lot of fun!
One last answer, to Rense; yes, I think CS3's Photomerge is fantastic, but for interiors it is a bit weird -- I've rarely seen a stitched photo that didn't have serious distortion issues. Someone somewhere may be doing it, but I haven't seen it.
I don't do 360 panoramics at all, so I don't know much about them.

Scott,
If I may, have you considered changing over to the newer higher megapixel camera bodies hitting the market recently?

Excellent.

Well that's it everyone and I hope this has been worthwhile (I suspect it has been more than worthwhile).

Look out for a challenge coming later today with an interior photography theme. We want to see how you can apply the information that Scott has shared with us.

Regards,

Peter

Scott,
You mentioned a secondary contract with builders and such for images. I have a first time job shooting an interior remodel in a couple weeks and the contractor wants images for his website. I don't have any idea here what to charge. I don't want to break the bank or give away the farm either. I would like to generate something out of the shoot that can hopefully lead to other jobs...any pointers?
