October 4th, 2008 This somewhat random shot of part of the kitchen does little to show it off. The shot lacks a focus, and the composition is bad. The MLS write-up mentioned this kitchen as one of the huge selling points on this home, but you can’t tell from this picture! See all the usualContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #214”

Logging near Cathedral Grove. Really?
In this morning’s Times Colonist newspaper, there was an article about Island Timberlands‘ plans to log an area which borders world-famous Cathedral Grove, home to some of the oldest, largest trees on the Island. Because it is so accessible (Highway 4 goes right through it), Cathedral Grove, in MacMillan Provincial Park, has become the mostContinue reading “Logging near Cathedral Grove. Really?”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #213
October 3rd, 2008 File this one under “almost not horrible.” I can see what the REALTOR® was trying to do, and I like it, but unfortunately, these shots don’t work without a wide-angle lens. Good composition though, and a creative way to shoot a difficult room (galley kitchens can be really awkward). See all theContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #213”
A Day Trip To Port Renfrew
Last Saturday, we took a day trip with another couple up to Port Renfrew. About a 45 minute drive from Sooke, Port Renfrew is a beautiful little spot, and is basically the “last stop” on the highway along this part of the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Well known for halibut and salmon fishing, asContinue reading “A Day Trip To Port Renfrew”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #212
October 2nd, 2008 With fall upon us, shots like this should be a little less common. The problem arises when bright sunlight from outside fools the camera into thinking the whole room is really bright, and therefore underexposes the picture. Turning on some lights in the room, shooting with your back to the brightest windows,Continue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #212”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #211
October 1st, 2008 It’s been a while since I’ve featured a pet on the Horrible MLS Photo of the Day. This, from sharp-eyed MLS-surfer and financial planner extraordinare Jeremy Kimm, is hilarious. This cat HATES you. It does not want you in its home, and will attack you when you go to view the condo.Continue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #211”
