But what if you can change the lighting (I’m not talking to the big fella here, but to interior photographers) my pal Trevor Carpenter has an interesting article, asking how you do interior architecture lighting.
Thanks to Zooomr for an awesome photo site, where these (and my entire photo history) are hosted.
UPDATED: Jim M. Goldstein has got a full day’s difference between photos at intervals at JMG-Galleries
