July 6th, 2008 Another dark room with sunshine outside, creating an under-exposed shot. Most cameras have a built in light meter that takes its reading from [mostly] the centre of the frame. So when you shoot a room, especially a dark one, into the light of the window, it tricks the camera into under-exposing theContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #124”

July 5th, 2008 This home looks dark and scary, and I don’t think that fireplace has a chimney that would conform to Santa Claus’ requirements for a safe and successful Christmas Eve entrance and exit.

July 4th, 2008 How hard would it have been to take a step to the right and not capture half of this light fixture in the frame, where it does not belong?

July 3rd, 2008 Just an awkward angle to shoot from, and also it’s a little off-level. Turn some lights on, use a tripod and avoid the camera’s internal flash, and your pictures will look brighter, straighter, and less fuzzy.

July 2nd, 2008 “Text Box Photography“ Effective? perhaps. Aesthetically pleasing? Oh no. There’s a better place for text comments, especially one like this that isn’t really referring to anything in the picture like “southwest view.” It’s called the written description or comments field.

July 1st, 2008 A close up of a stained glass window is of no value to your clients, unless of course, you happen to be selling an authentic medieval cathedral (quite rare, and not the case here).

June 30th, 2008 “P.W.I – Photography While Intoxicated“ Canada day’s tomorrow – this REALTOR® was celebrating early, perhaps?!.

June 28th, 2008 Another “economy shot” trying to fit two features/rooms into one shot. It just doesn’t work; the wall has become the focal point.

June 27th, 2008 “Backed Into A Corner“ This is another example of trying to fit two shots in one. The corner of the room has become the focal point, instead of the classy French door or the stained glass entrance door. A better idea would be to step back and take in each in aContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #115”
