October 25th, 2008 Another member of the Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day Witness Protection Programme. I think it goes without saying to leave your clients out of the pictures, especially their children. Other than that it’s not a very good picture anyway: it’s crooked, at an awkward angle and poorly lit. See all theContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #235”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #230
October 20th, 2008 Another victim of poor lighting and a horrible angle. A few steps to the right would have avoided making that cannister set the focal point of this picture, and turning on the lights would have avoided making them overexposed while underexposing the rest of the room. See all the usual suspects here.Continue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #230”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #229
October 19th, 2008 This beauty comes courtesy of reader Dara Sklar of RealtySupport.ca. As a provider of marketing services for REALTORS®, she has a hate-on for bad MLS photos as much as I do. This photo could have been improved by simply turning on some lights or using proper camera lighting. See all the usualContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #229”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #225
October 15th, 2008 This one suffers from a lack of a central focus that makes any sense. It would be better from more of an angle to take in more of the room and give it depth. I’ve been in this unit; it’s huge. This picture doesn’t do it justice. The couch or whatever inContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #225”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #222
October 12th, 2008 I seem to remember this being the only picture of the kitchen on the listing. Certainly doesn’t do it justice, as it’s all cut off. The only thing that’s entirely in the frame is that stand mixer, but I doubt it’s included. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – SookeContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #222”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #217
October 7th, 2008 Shooting from a dark room towards the brightly-lit windows is a sure way to end up on this blog. It messes up the exposure, causing the window to be properly (or over-) exposed, while the room becomes under-exposed. This shot gets extra points for the distracting plant and poor composition (window off-centre,Continue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #217”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #209
September 29th, 2008 Again I’d like to point out my desire to smack the people at the digital camera manufacturers who decided that the “date stamp” setting should be set to “on” when the cameras are shipped. Most people don’t bother to learn how to turn it off, and it looks awful. It’s also redundant;Continue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #209”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #205
September 25th, 2008 Poor composition and lack of lighting has ruined this photo!

Avast! ‘arrible MLS Portrait O’ The Day #199 Arrr!
September 19th, 2008 Ahoy, me hearties! ‘Tis International Talk Like A Pirate Day, and ‘ere at the 642ShipsLog, we’re translatin’ the scummy portrait o’ the day! Ye see, the lack o’ proper wide-angle portrait-machine lens has made this stately dwellin’ appear tinier than me cabin boy’s bunk, and the shutters closed makes it look darker’nContinue reading “Avast! ‘arrible MLS Portrait O’ The Day #199 Arrr!”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #198
September 18th, 2008 Nearly every home has a room like this. A place in the house where you put everything that really doesn’t fit anywhere else. In this case, we’ve got music, fitness, and extra furniture, it appears. Th first problem with this photo is that it’s too dark. We also have no idea howContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #198”
