There's a view out there!

As I was going thru this home, the person showing me around said...there's a terrific view upstairs, but we can't seem to get the view and the interior. This is caused because the outside is much brighter than inside. 

As a photographer, it's as simple as making the inside as bright as the outside. The hard part is making it LOOK like it's not being lit with artificial light.

Another problem with this shot is there is no place to bounce, I would normally bounce on the side walls but with the all the exposed wood it would cause a horrible color shift that would be more work to correct.

What I decided to do is use large white panels to simulate a neutral wall. I bounced the light on one side of the window, then i mirrored the lighting on the other side. I now had two exposures that where blended together.

The hard part was the floor, I used a strobe on a boom to get proper exposure and get rid of the Cyan highlights from the light coming in from the door.
