Ye see, the lack o’ proper wide-angle portrait-machine lens has made this stately dwellin’ appear tinier than me cabin boy’s bunk, and the shutters closed makes it look darker’nContinue reading “Avast! ‘arrible MLS Portrait O’ The Day #199 Arrr!”
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 #197
September 17th, 2008 The Man doesn’t want you to see what’s behind the blue bar! In all seriousness, sometimes bad things happen to jpeg images when they get uploaded or copied off a camera. However, this is the main photo for this listing, which means it shows up as the thumbnail picture when anyone (consumerContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #197”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #196
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”
