September 16th, 2008 There had to be a better way to shoot this room. First, we can tell it’s at night. And cutting off the dining room table and light has made this room look very cluttered and cramped. A different angle and shooting the home in the daytime would have helped. See all theContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #196”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #195
September 15th, 2008 First, you’ll never get good shots of the inside of the home at night. Even with professional lighting and flashes, you’re still better off taking advantage of the natural sunlight in the daytime. The focal point of this photo has become the half-wall in the foreground, and it distracts the eye fromContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #195”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #194
September 14th, 2008 This is wrong on a couple of levels. We’re not going to pick on the client’s decor ideas, don’t worry! But shooting a wall or room at a right angle to it takes away our depth perception. Always shoot at an angle. Also this is too tight of a shot; we’re missingContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #194”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #192
September 12th, 2008 Besides being crooked and kind of grainy, this photo suffers from too much light coming in from the window in the other room. It’s fooling the camera’s light meter once again, underexposing this picture and making it dark. Opening those curtains on the right and/or turning on some lights would have helpedContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #192”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #191
September 11th, 2008 I think we can all agree that this tight shot of these dated cupboards does nothing to show us the layout of the kitchen. From the looks of the photo, the kitchen looks large enough to be adequately photographed without a wide-angle lens, so all that is needed here is to standContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #191”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #190
September 10th, 2008 Not that it’s a horrible shot per se, but it was one of only three pictures on the listing, two of which were of the fireplace. Not exactly what I’d call showcasing a listing! See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your comments are welcomed andContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #190”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #189
September 9th, 2008 Overall, this photo falls victim to poor composition. It’s just not a good angle to show viewers the kitchen. That black object in the foreground distracts the eye and the differing directions of the counter-tops is also distracting. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional YourContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #189”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #188
September 8th, 2008 This REALTOR® must be busy. He or she was in such a hurry to shoot the pictures for this new listing that nearly every one was crooked, cluttered, and poorly composed. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your comments are welcomed and encouraged! Just useContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #188”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #187
September 7th, 2008 Too busy and too close is the problem here. It’s hard for the viewer to get an idea of the size and shape of this room. A better choice would be to de-clutter it a little, stand back, and also shoot at more of an angle to give some depth perception toContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #187”
