I managed to finish early which allowed me to set up my little test and spend ten or so minutes on just this scene. That hour included unloading a huge Pelican case, scouting it, chit-chatting with the client to exchange ideas, and shooting it. Now here's the fun part: I had an hour to create 10 images. I was recently contacted to shoot this neat apartment in Westwood, Los Angeles, CA for a client of mine. Let's get a feel for what we'll be working with. So let's get to it, shall we? I know this is real edge-of-your-seat entertainment, so hold on tight. I bracketed for HDR, shot for the highlights, the shadows, shot with flashes, shot with flashes again, and then moved the flashes around and shot again, just because I wanted to leave no stone unturned. So on a recent shoot, I was presented with a perfect scene to demonstrate the differences between methods, and (here's the important part) remembered to shoot it with this article in mind. It is as dependable as the sun rising and setting - I honestly cannot remember any time when it hasn't happened. Flash users insult HDR users, HDR users insult flash users, everyone cuts a knee open, and everyone goes home disappointed. I've been shooting and writing about architecture, interiors, real estate, and generally everything that needs to look pretty but cannot be moved for awhile now, and it seems every time I post an article related to my field(s), there are plenty of comments debating the use of HDR and the use of flash in the comments.
