Interior Shooting Tips and Help Hi, I'm looking for some tips and help out there for an interior shooting I have coming up. This is actually an event; an open house for a new motorcycle shop. I haven't scoped it out to see the lighting. I do have Photoshop, Photomatrix (and the plug-in in Photoshop cs3). However, I do not have a reflector, like I've seen in other forums that people use for shadows. I have an SB-800 flash for my Nikon d70s. Here's the catch... with the 3 exposures for the HDR images, I'm concerned that the slow shot for one of the 3 images with blur the people there. Any advice?

If you want to keep people in focus, I suggest that you use your flash with a normal sync speed. As for reflectors, I usually don't use them for architecture shots. I have, on occasion for dark areas and corners, but I've found the flash to be enough light in most circumstances. Have fun and keep shooting,

In addition to what Mark said: if you shoot RAW every single shot can be output as up to 6 different images, every one with different exposure settings. With which you can craft your HDRIs!

Thanks Mark and W.S. W.- I'm aware of the raw images, which is usually how I shoot my HDR's I was just wondering on how to stabalize the movement. Can I shoot bracketing with my flash?

"Can I shoot bracketing with my flash?" Dunno if a D70s can do that, Greg. Probably not (recharge time). But even if it can, the REAL question is: would YOU want that? Because your subjects will move between flashes/exposures, so making an HDRI of a bracketed scene with people is out of the question.

Yeah, That's what I was thinking... So now it's back to the drawing board. Maybe just hope for the subjects in the room to be still and hurry with my pictures? haha

No. Just shoot RAW. Then convert that one RAW file into 3 or 4 differently exposed TIFF files. Then do your HDR magic with those 3 or 4 'originals'. I suggest you start practicing that M.O. asap to get it down pat BEFORE the gig.

That's genious... I never would have thought about that. So, 1 single images, but going into CS3, take the 1 raw file and over expose, under expose, and correct expose it... THEN HDR it. Gotcha! Wow... Thanks so much. That makes so much sense.
