      Thanks for the input. Agree about the candle. It has a nice shape that is hard to see here. Will work on that.

        I see that line now too. Good eyes! Not sure what the heck that is!

        Appreciate your comments, as always.

          Thank you. I will play around with those ideas. I did choose the background to look a little sad. But That lost the candle for me.

                I don’t know enough to offer suggestions, but it’s very pretty and the depth of field is great.

                    Thank you. Not a lot of processing, just 2 apps- DistressedFx and Stackables app. I agree about the candle edge, it has a nice melty look I wanted to show, just couldn’t get it to do so.
                    Thx for comments.

                      Sorry, thought I’d put it in: ISO 200. f 2.2. 1/1000 50mm. Thx for insights.

                            I will try that. But if I’m pointing the flash up, which I do sometimes if I’m lucky enough to have a nice white ceiling, why use a diffuser?
                            I will try to turn off the bright ones. These agents all think every light needs to be on…. I go behind her and turn off the lamps she always puts on!!
                            Thanks for your comments!

                              I will. The other issue with tripods is room. Some of her listings are teeny little houses crowded with too much furniture. Was thinking of maybe a monopod?
                              Your comments are great, thank you.

                                What a fabulous idea- the screen thing. I can’t wait to try it! I have tried all kinds of metering tricks, to no real avail. Thank you, I’ll let you know how it works!

                                  Hi. The subject was the Sycamore and I placed the filter on to make it sort of dreamy and pale. It was rather unremarkable otherwise. Thx all

                                    I beat it to death in post as it was an ordinary photo. Didn’t work. Thx, appreciate comments

                                      It was a rather unremarkable photo, hence the post processing. I agree with you. Thx

                                        The lighting is the hardest part. No tripod, my client ( the real estate agent) always in a hurry). Blown out windows the biggest issue. Thx much.

                                          Yes, you are right. I try not to use flash for these, but then hard to make whole scene evenly lit. Thx. Not sure how to correct without flash. And blown out windows always a problem.
