We had some friends from upstate New York (the frozen north) visiting us
for several days. After a few days of pleasant South Carolina weather
they began getting interested in actually buying a place here but not
until it was almost time to leave. They looked at 4 houses in the
neighborhood that were for sale and absolutely fell in love with this
one. It's not actually on the market yet but I heard from the owner
that she plans to sell soon. Yesterday I took some photos of the house
so my friends could remember the details of what they saw and also show
their children and grandchildren what they're thinking of buying.
The photos I took are in the link below. Everything was done with the
E-M1 and the 9-18. If there are any not taken at 9mm they are very few.
I don't yet know how to use the HDR feature on the E-M1 and HDR in
PhotoShop is still a mystery to me. It managed to "destroy" the 2
images I tried. So I was amazed that, in many instances, I was able to
capture the outdoors through the windows in full sun and only slightly
overexposed while having enough shadow lifting capability to correct
extreme underexposure of the interior.
I also did it while working very quickly on a very light tripod so as
not to inconvenience the owner. I'm sure I could have done much better
with much more time and the big Manfrotto with geared head. One of
these days I'm just going to have to tackle the HDR thing as well as
getting better at correcting distortion.

ps: I fixed two images where I managed to catch myself in reflections
but see I missed one. That's another thing I tend to have trouble with
when shooting interiors of houses.
