I love it! I thought 24mm would be wide enough for shooting in this large house. Plus, the focus is always spot on and tack sharp. It’s so versatile that I rarely take it off my camera. My go-to lens these days is the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 markII. I used the little stand that comes with my speedlite, but it kept falling off (so annoying!) Plus, if I needed light in an area of a room that didn’t have a counter top or furniture item where I could place my light, I was out of luck. On a related note, I was kicking myself for not bringing any light stands. In the end, I had to rely on natural light for these large spaces. One flash for small rooms and closets was perfect, but for large areas, like the great room and kitchen combo, two or more lights would have been ideal. I have a second one that I didn’t happen to have with me at this shoot and it would have come in handy.

I keep one portable light, like the Canon 530EXII, in my kit at all times. For Tripod recommendations, check out Cha’s latest Gear Talk Episode: OUR FAVORITE TRIPODS! Especially if I had wanted to try some HDR techniques. I was able to get a decent exposure handheld, but a tripod would have been nice to have around. Oops! I figured it wouldn’t be that big of a deal, since my Canon 5D Mark III can handle low light very well and I had a flash with me. My shoot was in an out-of-town location and in my packing haste, I forgot my tripod.
I learned a lot, and I hope my tips for first time Real Estate Photographers will help you avoid some of my mistakes. I hate to admit it, though, I was very unprepared for the shoot.
In an industry where a picture is literally worth a thousand words (and possibly several thousand dollars), this was a job I didn’t want to take lightly. Last week I was hired, for the first time ever, to photograph a luxury home for a Real Estate listing.
