November 28th, 2008 It’s probably not that dark in this room, but the bright light coming in the window and the white blinds have thrown off the camera’s light meter, causing the camera to think the room is brighter than it actually is, and thereby underexposing it. The same thing fooled the camera into notContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #269”

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 #229
October 19th, 2008 This beauty comes courtesy of reader Dara Sklar of RealtySupport.ca. As a provider of marketing services for REALTORS®, she has a hate-on for bad MLS photos as much as I do. This photo could have been improved by simply turning on some lights or using proper camera lighting. See all the usualContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #229”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #209
September 29th, 2008 Again I’d like to point out my desire to smack the people at the digital camera manufacturers who decided that the “date stamp” setting should be set to “on” when the cameras are shipped. Most people don’t bother to learn how to turn it off, and it looks awful. It’s also redundant;Continue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #209”

September 25th, 2008 Poor composition and lack of lighting has ruined this photo!

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #201
September 21st, 2008 Another Day, another violation of Ayres Directive #1. The REALTOR® managed to capture most of the bathroom by standing back, but with a wide-angle lens, he or she would be able to do that without including the walls and doorway in the frame. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres –Continue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #201”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #198
September 18th, 2008 Nearly every home has a room like this. A place in the house where you put everything that really doesn’t fit anywhere else. In this case, we’ve got music, fitness, and extra furniture, it appears. Th first problem with this photo is that it’s too dark. We also have no idea howContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #198”

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 #185
September 5th, 2008 This dark and dreary image could have been improved greatly simply by standing in the opposite corner, and shooting in the same direction as that beautiful natural light coming in the windows. Shooting towards it fools your camera into thinking the scene is brighter than it actually is, resulting in an underexposedContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #185”
