[QUOTE="MrF, post: 146399, member: 10292"] I would definitely try to showcase the view then. Here's an example I found after some quick googling: [url=http://outboxdesign.deviantart.com/art/new-beach-house-interior-101332265]new beach house interior by ~outboxdesign on deviantART[/url]. I don't know what kind of windows you have, but you can imagine how much worse that shot would have looked if the window was just one washed out white area. There are a few routes you can go. HDR, like Marcel said, is a great option but there is a little bit of a learning curve to it. Some searching should yield some how-tos and software, but it's essentially taking multiple exposures and blending them together into one balanced scene. Your other option is to try to balance the light inside and outside the room. A flash is a good way to do this, but as Marcel said, make sure it's bounce flash. There are other options. My dad used to use an old 700W movie light that went with my granddad's 8mm movie camera. That thing pointed at the ceiling would really light up the room. Depending on which way the windows face, you can wait until near dusk and see how that works too. Try some practice shots in your house and see what works. [/QUOTE]
