Hey, I wanted to ask you if you know the new godox x3 has legacy hotshoe? Thanks

As chiefly a real estate and architectural photographer, this video was a great bit of info. The Manfrotto ball head I’ve been using for a few years has been solid, but starting to fall apart. I was just about to order a new one when I saw your video. Ordered the K&F geared head instead. Cheaper and might solve the time consuming headache of doing fine adjustments to level out the camera and straighten lines. 😉 The plate doesn’t matter since I use one piece grips/bottom plates that have the Arca dovetail built into them. That part will be solid as a rock! Thank you for taking the time to shoot and upload this video. 😉

as soon as your video ended, it was followed by an add for ai website design 🤦

Do they have an AI app that does HDR bracketing with a good final result?

Hi Nathan thanks as always your experience and knowledge is always impressive. I have a question the chimney for instance I find when i add the sky replacement it would cover that chimney and even fading the edge on the sky replacement in PS doesnt completely remove this so the fringing on the tree works but how do u remove bleed onto the home roof or chimney itself pls ?

GREAT video!!

Can you do a gimbal moves for those into land banking real estate

Incredible videos! Are you still on auto White Balance even when using flash or are you setting it to the flash's color temperature? Your videos helped me on my first Home gig. Thanks so much!

What about cameras that have a native ISO? I shoot on a Panasonic Lumix S5IIX and the low native ISO is 640, the high being 3200.

You gave alot of great insight and tips, thanks for sharing the user experience for ApplyDesign! Wishing you the best of luck with everything Nathan!

Informative and helpful. Thanks! Unfortunately my area of Bucks County, PA, is experiencing gentrification. Homes in middle class neighborhoods are being remodeled (even razed at times) with larger, nicer homes being built in their places. Quite often homes tend to sell so fast using unedited cell phone images taken by novices. Converging verticals, trash, bad lighting, etc is the norm. So I doubt there will be much of an AI market here. Lol.

Does the new trigger solve this issue?

It would be great to see the actual results of apps or companies providing these AI RE photo services 😂 I have no doubt that somebody tried it already out of curiosity

@0:41 WOW! That sure is one heckuva disclaimer. Glad you got with your attorney(s) for that . . . LOL. Love it. Well done, Nathan! THX!

This really is just an particularly sleazy example of the “race to the bottom” by competing on price. There is no way these services, even if they are just portals to a pool of editors, can provide quality or consistency with their work product. For realtors who believe it is acceptable to just snap iPhone picks for their listings, what does this say to their clients? It says they are cheap and will cut all corners possible when marketing their property. That is NOT a good optic for any realtor who wants to still be around in 3 years. You get what you pay for. We need to remember who the ultimate client is. It’s really not the realtor, it is the home owner!

Thanks Nathan, fully right about these advertisings of Ford among others for flying cars. I am convinced that no machine will ever match human creativity, machines at maximum are only able to reproduce what you put in them. As so often scammers jump on these kind of hypes and the ignorance of the major public on these topics to set up their little business.

Lets also talk about the optics of a Realtor that not only is a hired professional to list and sell their home but is now walking around with a cell phone snapping pics. Why not just do FSBO! I know Realtors and they don't want to do anything outside of their box, ie... floor plans (they could save money doing it themselves but choose us because they couldn't be bothered)

Great content by the way. Do you think agents would hire me just to come in to do 360 work and not the photography? I have a camera but I do not know if they wouldn't hire me since I am an amateur. Or should I try to get clients for both? Do you think the virtual tour model can get me money?

That masking brush in Raw was mind blowing.

Adapt or die complaining 😂

Very informative video. While have used plain old Gen Fill to rescue a couple of architecture projects, have never gone the reference image route. Many thanks.

Hi Nathan, do you usually ask the client to send you a sort of images to see in advance to what you are working for, or do you bring all your gears in you car and deal with any unexpected surprise when you are there? Thank you for putting all this together. I got your book collection! I love it and I have learned so much from it.

Hi Nathan, when i do the colour match in the first drop down box to select the layer I want to match to my flash shot isn’t coming up as an option. It seems to be only giving me the window pull as a match option

Great video, thanks Nathan. I'm struggling to get efficient object removal in Photoshop 2024 using generative fill. It takes ages, and often returns poor results. Should I be using a different version of PS, or where does one access the AI object removal tools?

To those asking if AI will one-day be good enough to replace photogs with cellphone shots: I get asked this question every time I post a video on AI, and the answer remains the same: It likely won't happen, but not for the reasons you might think. Although the physics of light alone will restrict AI from doing what flash can for RE photography while providing truth-in-advertising restricted work (i.e. REP), the cost of making a program and recouping those costs from clients would very likely cost more than just paying an RE photography to do the work. Also, scam companies are coming out of the woodwork saying they have AI apps that can turn cellphone photos into unbelievable images, but, as I'll show in an upcoming video, these "Apps" do nothing more than collect your photos and send them to overseas editors. That's why they have 24-48 hour turnarounds; if it was AI, it would be immediate. Even with that aside, the core of this issue is cost: Although we can dream of technology, it doesn't it would be profitable enough for a company to create it and maintain it. If that weren't the case then we'd all be using flying cars while using our bionic powered limbs. So TL;DR, you're job is secure 🧐

What do you think about the possibility of AI being able to generate accurate real estate style images from things like a Cubi Casa Scan in the future? Once it has a full high res scan of the property it would be able to generate a whole photoshoot from one scan, it can already do a digital version of it for video

Major pay cut to start doing this. I had enough of Hospital Administration and want to do something that makes ME happy. Thank you for the video & look forward to the class.

1:43 with what AI program you edited that picture to have a final result like that?

Hello Nathan. I tried several images of kitchens, some very simple, some more complicated. The results are far from realistic. It keeps planting windows on walls, faucets emerge out of the counter tops, leaves grow out of cabinets and doors appear where the refrigerator should be. Editing will not save these images either as the errors are too many. Just my results...

Some years ago you make a revolution in my life providing a very well knowledge regarding Real Estate Photography. Now you providing another revolution updating my skills again. I am so grateful for that. 📸

You’re 100% on target. In 2001, I set myself ahead of the curve by purchasing the taboo in publishing. I bought a digital 4 mb Oly E-10. All of my blowback came from the publisher saying it was too low rez. Reluctantly they excepted a few small pics and in print, they looked cleaner than the scanned film prints. Understanding that digital was the future, I became more proficient than the film photographers and turn around times were much faster. AI has already helped me to a lesser extent set myself apart against higher level photographers than I faced 20 years ago. My advice, listen to what Nathan is saying and learn how to use AI to set yourself above your competitors.

500 tons, where did you get that number?

may be Tesla have the solution...

Great commentary. It's the same kind discussion that happened around the shift from film to digital. It's another tool.

I agree that AI won't take our jobs directly. Of all the techniques you need to learn to stop other photographers stealing your jobs, Adobe's AI tools are some of the easiest out there. You literally brush the AI removal tool over the thing you want to remove or draw a box around it and hit generate. I don't think there are going to be many photographers sitting there feeling left behind unless they're too lazy to work that out. What concerns me more is that AI will steal the jobs of portrait and product photographers and then they will look to change genre into types of photography that AI can't replace, and they will try to get into real estate/architecture. So we'll suffer from further increased competition, which will drive rates down on average.

Great great content as always

What I don’t understand with this flash photography is are you taking pictures of yourself around the room with that light in your hand and then photoshopping yourself out?

Hi Nathan, I saw that you can create a 50% gray layer mask but I can’t work out how to do it. I’ve searched Google and you tube and can’t find how it’s done. Are you able to help. Your my only hope lol

Im confused to know the best way to do. Usually i fix the wb in LR but recently I have ditched adjustung the WB and have used your method (blur average, then graypoint click in curves) And adjusting the opacity. And i still dont really know whats best in LR you can atleast copy the settings

hey Nathan .... now I understand it a little bit more for taking flash shots and how to edited then .... thanks for the tutorial ...

These are great young grasshopper teaching methods! Thank you!

I've got a handheld gimbal with a Sony setup, but after practicing and still not being happy with the results, I found myself getting pretty frustrated. My arms were tired, and I was starting to think I have no upper body strength (I'm a woman who doesn't lift weights, after all). I even wondered if maybe this wasn't for me. But then I watched your video, and I love the idea of practicing with a glass of water test! I'm definitely going to try that. The way you broke everything down and pointed out what to look for to find my mistakes was so helpful. Thanks for the tips!

10:15 Damn. You look 40. Good job.

The whole time I watched this video I just kept thinking of you as Mr. Miyagi asking a student to water all the plants of your garden using just a full glass, one at a time. 😂 jokes aside, amazing video !

Like everybody else, I watch a lot of UA-camrs. Nathan's videos are all killer and no filler. There is so much value in his free YT videos. That being said, I've bought 3 of his video courses with no regrets. I refer to the course videos almost ever time I do editing. Even though I haven't started to do a lot of high end RE shoots yet, because I use the techniques learned from NC on the lower end properties I shoot, the agents are blown away. Thanks Nathan, keep up the good work.

I thought I'd mention that I often use the GODOX V1 Pro on camera and as a trigger to a 2nd light at events. I shoot mostly Skateboarding and when shooting at events with a vert ramp it's super sketchy to have two off-camera flashes so I normally shoot one off-camera flash in the back and one on the camera. Works well enough for Xgames and such.

I have essential tremor, too. So did my dad, so do 2 of my 3 kids. Fun stuff! Not. But you learn to work with it. Cheers! Great video!

Nice tip. I haven’t seen this tip anywhere else. Practice makes perfect.

Thanks Nathan for these useful exercising tips!

Hi Nathan, I so love your work! I have learnt so much from watching your videos. What settings are you using for video? The light seems very even, even when you are near a window. Keep up the great work! Thank you!
