Artist's Comments

This type of shooting is quite out of my comfort zone as I am a landscape shooter but I was asked to shoot some location images for a company and they asked if I would do also do the internals as well and I agreed.

So after searching the net for a workflow on how to do HDR internal shots like ones you see in the magazines I came up with very little or the tutorials still had that strong tone mapped look to them. Even DA has little to help those who are looking for the same on real estate shots so I decided to put up a few shots and my full workflow. (as I have been told DA is all about sharing)

This workflow of shooting and post production is definitely a work in progress and there is a lot of room for improvement but for those interested I hope this gives you a good starting point. I had two hours to shoot 6 units so I was pushed for time.

The images were on my 5D Mk II and are three image blends in Photomatix and then developed in CS3. + and - 2 EV. I needed more than three shots to pull in more highlights. Wish the Canon would do + and - 3 stops like the Nikon's.

My clients were happy with the results and I got paid for my work. These images will be selling million dollar units and also printed in magazines.

All feedback welcome and any one who is happy or willing to expand on what I have posted would be great.

The results look amazing for HDR it looks as though they were created from just one image. Thanks for the tutorial.

Thanks so much! I love real estate and interior design and this will be a great help for taking pictures of some products! :) Now to only translate this into GIMP...

Your Welcome. The Photoshop is pretty basic but essential I found in cleaning up and sharpening the HDR. So I don't think it will be hard to do the PS side of things in GIMP.
