One of the things I love about living in Sooke is the lack of light pollution from a big city. We’re close enough to Victoria, but far enough away that its lights don’t interfere with stargazing. Every August, I sit out in my yard at night and am marveled by the yearly Perseids meteor shower.Continue reading “Life in Sooke: Starry Skies”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #302
December 31st, 2008 Now, it’s nice to see what appears to be a rough-in for an additional bathroom, but I wouldn’t necessarily include it on the listing; it might scare some people off. Maybe as one of 15 or so photos, but there were only 5 or 6 on the listing in this case. SeeContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #302”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #301
December 30th, 2008 This is just a boring shot of a corner of a room. It doesn’t add any value to the buyer, and even though listings have been dropping off in the last few months, there’s still a lot of product out there. Your marketing needs to be sharp as a tack, and photosContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #301”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #300
December 29th, 2008 One day I should go through all the 300 Horrible MLS Photos and see what percentage of them are bad bathroom shots. I’d be willing to bet at least half of them are. They are difficult because they are often the smallest rooms in the house and absolutely require a wide angleContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #300”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #299
December 28th, 2008 Laundry rooms are almost always too small for even a wide-angle lens, and usually are too messy to photograph anyway. I’d leave it out, especially when the laundry pair and the decor are in need of updating. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your commentsContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #299”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #298
December 27th, 2008 Blurry, crooked and out of context because it’s too zoomed in. If not for the wine rack on top, it would be difficult to tell whether this was the kitchen or the laundry room. Take a few steps back and capture the whole room. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim AyresContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #298”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #297
December 26th, 2008 “Shower of Power“ Hope everyone had an awesome white Christmas Day yesterday and a tasty Christmas Dinner. Here is a pointless shot of a corner of a room. I really hope the REALTOR® wasn’t trying to emphasize that TV on the wall as being a selling feature! See all the usual suspectsContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #297”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #296
December 25th, 2008 – MERRY CHRISTMAS! Every time you shoot a bathroom without a wide angle lens, somewhere a kitten is killed. Please, think of the kittens! It’s Christmas!

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #295
December 24th, 2008 This beautiful looking shower and bathroom is another victim of a point-and-shoot camera that just can’t capture this kind of room properly. Always use a wide angle lens for bathrooms! See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your comments are welcomed and encouraged! Just use theContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #295”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #294
December 23rd, 2008 Too much ceiling, too little everything else. Also, crooked, and taken at night, hence the lack of light. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your comments are welcomed and encouraged! Just use the form or link below this post.
