This is my first visit to the Lighting Forums :runaway: I'm more of an outside person :D

However, please can someone look at this hotel website, particually the photos of the bedrooms, and give me an idea of how they were lit/how you would light them if you were taking the shots.

Thanks!
 
Daylight + flash bounced from ceiling to balance the light + wall lights for effect. Extreme wideangle lens.

Down to the usual standard, you could do much better than this.
 
Thanks:

You don't rate those shots then? Just a flash and a wangle.............I could do that.......... :D
 
The very limited experience I had of shooting an interior for a holiday cottage, I used a tripod and natural daylight/lights in the room. I used the tripod so I could get the slow shutter speeds needed to use the natural light and the results came out well.

Switch on every light, watch your WB, tripod, no worries. It only starts getting complicated if you need to preserve the external view but that can be taken care of by merging multiply exposure shots.
 
You may use the camera on a tripod and take long exposures using the available light ( the room's light), you may also during the exposure burst the flash on the areas to show up in the frame, known as light painting, as the name implies. The flashlight is best diffused or bounced.
The best is using long exposures with the camera on a tripod, and bracket the shots and using the available light and oh, make sure nothing is moving in the room as after it appears blurred.

Hi all. I know this thread is old now but I'm new here and have been having a bit of a look around. I found this thread (just bought a 580 myself so looking in to lighting) and it reminded me of an awesome shot (series of shots) I saw last week. They were HDR shots. I know a lot of folk will turn their nose up at HDR but this one is very subtle. Check it out.
