I've been told of another trick. Have the smallest f stop and leave the shutter open for a long period. If anybody walks through the scene they won't show up as they would have only been in the scene for a shot period of time. A small blur may occur but that can be cloned out in P/shop.

Not sure how realistic or practical that is as I'd prefer to have an empty room to work for myself rather than waste time cloning out gremlins :D

Jeez those pics are positively awful, I'd be right pi**ed if those were the finished product from my house I wanted to sell! Got distortion? :shock: The idea is good though!

Now all I need is a good piece of stitching software. Has any of you got any experiences? I found http://www.ptgui.com/ though Google and it looks promising. Nice demo: http://www.ptgui.com/examples/

I haven't tried ptgui, but it looks OK...

Alternatives are autostitch and Panorama Factory

Thanks John, interesting article. When you see the next pano of a ballroom in the paper, then realise it was a broom closet, you will know where I got the idea from :wink:

I didn't miss that though. :D

How embarrassing to say the least!

Was that picture used for real?


Cheers and thanks

We are photographing property with wide angel 10mm lenses and the clients are satisfied. For more detail shots we use 18mm. I recommend using the wide angel to convey the space.

1. This is a photographic site and I would imagine most members already know what you are trying to convey.

2. Why drag up a thread that is over 6 years old?

3. Please read forum rules and put a defining location in your personal details

Thanks

I think this photograph about the real estate is very good and also looking very good.

Interesting that it happens again to the same thread.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.
