Triple Feature! Something went screwy with the scheduled posts function on my blog this weekend, and Saturday and Sunday’s photos disappeared. I was without internet access this weekend and was unaware that the problem existed until this morning. November 8th, 2008 It’s great that the REALTOR® turned on the lamp, but unfortunately it’s become theContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #249, #250 and #251”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #248
November 7th, 2008 This room is pretty small, so it’s hard to take a photo of it without a wide-angle lens. It’s a family home, so there is bound to be a few kids’ toys hanging around, and they’re rather organized in this shot. The blind should be open, though, to let in some naturalContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #248”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #247
November 6th, 2008 I know, could be a lot worse. But when you shoot the exterior of a house, try and get your clients to move the car out of the way. Another thing that helps is to zoom out or use a wide-angle lens so you can stand closer to the house and notContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #247”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #245 & #246
November 4th, 2008 This photo wouldn’t have been so bad if the REALTOR® had turned on some lights, and improved the composition a little. That chair in the front/centre of the frame is kind of in the way. A few degrees to the right and this one would have been OK. Take a moment orContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #245 & #246”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #244
November 3rd, 2008 At first I couldn’t remember why I saved this picture while browsing the MLS last week. It’s actually pretty nice, compositionally. The whole room is captured, it’s also well lit and exposed. But then I put the caption box around it (click through to the post if you’re viewing this via e-mailContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #244”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #242 & #243
November 1st, 2008 Turn some lights on, turn the TV off, and use a wide angle lens for a better shot. This room also looks quite cramped with furniture, knick-knacks, and vegetation. It’s always a good idea to encourage your clients to de-clutter before putting their home on the market. Don’t be afraid to beContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #242 & #243”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #241
October 31st, 2008 A nice scary one for Hallowe’en! Picture is crooked/off centre, TV is on, poor composition too. Try and shoot rooms at an angle, rather than having your lens pointed perpendicular to the wall. It adds depth perception. And avoid shooting photos at night, they always look too dark. See all the usualContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #241”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #239 and #240
BONUS EDITION. Things got crazy yesterday and I didn’t post. So, today you get two tasty horrible photos. October 29th, 2008 Ayres Directive #1 violated again. This shot does nothing to show off the bathroom. And good God, how would you choose a necklace in the morning?! I’d be there all day 😉 I suspectContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #239 and #240”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #238
October 28th, 2008 Aren’t you just waiting for the ghosts and goblins to jump out of those doors? Our new MLS® system has the ability (yay!) to accomodate “portrait” oriented pictures, which would have suited this shot instead of the wide “landscape” orientation shown here. Also, the darkness and the crookedness of the hallway makesContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #238”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #237
October 27th, 2008 Junior wouldn’t quit playing World of Warcraft long enough for the REALTOR® to shoot pictures, and now we have another member of the Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day Child Protective Services Club. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your comments are welcomed and encouraged!Continue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #237”
