Adding a new tool to the toolbox.

I started my real estate photography career by doing a job for a friend and real estate realtor. I was a small job, but I provided a 3D rendition and still imagery of a condo in Arlington, Virginia. It took a little longer then expected. I was using new equipment and I wanted to make a good impression. The still photographs were accomplished with a standard Nikon D850 and SB900 flash unit. Really a mixture of HDR techniques and fill flash. I think the results were fantastic for shooting empty rooms.

The real new technique for me was using the IGuide camera system. A mix of spherical images and Lidar technology. I was able to produce an accurate floorplan, down to the millimeter. Each room was carefully scanned with the Lidar, as I took the spherical images and walk through space. I made some technical mistakes, but with my experience from my government job, I was able to fix them in post. The stitching software from the IGuide company is not as good as my old standard PTGui Pro software. But it was an easy fix with the drafters from the company.

Once I figure out how to incorporate my IGuide into my Squarespace website, I will post it.
