Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #220
October 10th, 2008 Just another violation of Ayres Directive #1, involving a bathroom and a non-wide angle lens. Also, makes a star of the REALTOR® for shameless self-promotion by way of mirror reflections. Good one. Happy thanksgiving everyone! (Well, all us Canadians anyway.) Don’t worry, USA, yours will come soon enough. See all the usualContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #220”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #219
October 9th, 2008 This REALTOR® did a decent job of capturing the whole room – good work! However, the composition is a little weird. It appears to be crooked, and getting that picture frame and light fixture in the shot is really distracting. I would also recommend that this type of picture be taken atContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #219”
Blogging W-5 Wednesday Part 3 – When?
As one of our real estate board’s most prolific bloggers, and certainly one of the most active bloggers in the region, many people ask me questions about it. In this weekly section, I’m going to answer the W-5 (Who, What, Where, When, and Why) of blogging. I hope you’ll enjoy my commentary. Q: When doContinue reading “Blogging W-5 Wednesday Part 3 – When?”
Bear Safety in Sooke and on Vancouver Island
It seems that scarcely a day goes by without some news story about an encounter with humans and bears in British Columbia. Fortunately, injuries are rare, but unfortunately, the animals end up the victims, having to be killed in order to protect the public. Last month saw the sensational account of a fisherman from SaltContinue reading “Bear Safety in Sooke and on Vancouver Island”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #218
October 8th, 2008 Kitchens have been popular lately, I must say. For something that so many homeowners say is a big selling feature for them, they are certainly abused in the photography department. This travesty of a photograph is hardly useful to a buyer. In this market, you need to make your listings POP. IfContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #218”
The Wind Arrives In Sooke
Last night, as I was lying in bed, the wind came up and buffeted the coast all night. It’s a sure sign that fall is upon us and winter is on the way. Having always lived in coastal areas, I thought I knew what wind storms were all about. I was wrong. Since moving toContinue reading “The Wind Arrives In Sooke”
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 #216
October 6th, 2008 This photo, which purports to be of the kitchen, isn’t really of the kitchen at all. The fridge is taking up a good deal of the frame, and the rest is just of a hallway. Very poor composition and exposure. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real EstateContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #216”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #215
October 5th, 2008 Crooked, poorly composed, and just awful! See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your comments are welcomed and encouraged!
