| Posted: 09 Mar 2020 10:40 AM PDT I have limited Photoshop skills so I would need to learn a lot. But i saw some big photographers have reflection in iMac screens (office pics) they didn't photoshop it out, there are still lights in the ceiling, vents, etc. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Should I jump on a Drone to help build a portfolio before landing gigs? Posted: 08 Mar 2020 10:36 PM PDT [little bit of a read ahead] Somewhat of a new guy around here and have been having some great discussions with a few of you here. Ive reached out to a few of you for help on how to get started in RE photography and a lot of this community has been really helpful and informative so thank you for that. With Real Estate photography being a fairly new adventure, I do have some experience in photographing around 50 weddings, product/stills, and lately commercial food photography. With my knowledge of my use of the camera and my way around editing software (lightroom and pshop) plus the amount of research I've consumed I feel confident about joining this new adventure with all of you. So with some background about me out of the way I'm mostly concerned with having my kit and gear solidified before reaching out to agents to seek work. Would you agree this is the correct approach? Here is where I'm having a difficult time making a sound decision. The drone. This purchase has me a bit stumped. To me it feels pretty staple and necessary if you're going to chase down work in this field, but my experience with flying one is...zero. I have never piloted a drone but understand that most of them almost fly themselves. I am committed to studying and getting my 107 license so I can fly commercially but I feel like I need to get my hands on one sooner than later if I'm going to be using it for developing photos for clients. With regards to what most people have recommended, the dream is the DJI Mavic Pro 2 but the price tag has me a bit weary. I'm on a pretty tight budget and yes I can throw it on credit but Im wondering if I can get away with possibly the air or the mini? I've learned my lesson of buy cheap buy twice so my intuition is telling me to steer clear. Also from reviewers and youtube it has become clear that the mavic mini can and will struggle in windy conditions and that it somewhat looks like a toy. Showing up with something that looks like a small toy might also make me look less professional, and maybe the agent will be less inclined to take me seriously. Just something Im also taking into consideration. Would love to know how some of you decided on what to jump on and if you wish you would have gone for the more expensive reliable drone or if you were glad you didn't and how you are satisfied with the air or equivalent. Ultimately I know at the end of the day its a decision I just have to make for my situation but this particular hurdle has me feeling like I need to have it made before I can move forward. TL:DR First time RE photographer wanting to start a business and needs a drone before hunting down RE Work. Needing to know if it is necessary to help build the portfolio and land clients. If so what drone do you recommend? As always thank you for being helpful and I'm proud to be part of the community here. Cheers [link] [comments] |
