Photographing the inside of a yacht or boat s not unlike that of photographing the interior of a luxurious and well-appointed hotel or home. However, with yachts there are some notable exceptions which are taken into consideration by one certain digital San Diego Photographer that works as a San Diego Commercial Photographer.
First, on a boat space is generally minimal, except of course on mega-yachts, requiring the use of a wide-angle lens in many instances. This can present a limitation because of the resulting perspective distortions. This can present a limitation because of the resulting perspective distortions. Fortunately, certain of the less-desirable effects caused by wide-angle lenses can be corrected in digital post-processing. In other cases and for exterior shots, more normal lenses can be used. A normal lens is one which gives a proper perspective to the photo; oftentimes the most normal lens is one with a focal length of about 50mm on a full-frame camera.
An additional consideration to be aware when photographing the interior of a yacht is one of style. Is the goal to create photos with a romantic, night-time, cabin-lit feeling as if the shot were created in a studio? Or is the desire to show the yacht sun-lit, during the light of day on the water, preparing for an activity, indeed a heading, or the owner to return to the helm? Both serve a purpose and require certain technique, or style.
Daytime shots of yacht interiors can be hindered by bright sunlight if care is not taken with camera and lighting properties. Here strobes can be used in accompaniment with natural light so that both are in balance, producing a very amiable photograph. To apart with the effort of controlling multiple lighting sources some photographers will shoot at dusk and use strobes only. By the way, strobe is just a sophisticated term for flash.
To achieve a different style that is altogether dissimilar from dusk shooting, other photographers successfully photograph during the daytime through the balancing of immediate and strobe light sources. Either method is correct and use techniques that are apropos to other aspects of photography, as well, even in fact a subject so different as wedding photography; the correlation, of lighting sources in this case is also crafted with care by a San Diego Wedding Photographer.
Whether photographing yachts, boats, buildings, resorts, real estate, or even weddings and events, the photographer must be conscious of all lighting sources and lens and camera settings in order to ensure the best photograph is fashioned, with style and quality.
