Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #20

March 22nd, 2008 “Smoke enough of this stuff and it’s waterfront!.” Maybe it’s just the photographer’s breath, but it looks like he or she is smoking, and it doesn’t belong in this photo.

March 20th, 2008 “In the future, we’ll live in capsules in space” What are we looking at here? Poor composition and lack of wide-angle photography has taken away from what might be a very interesting feature of this home. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres Subscribe via e-mail, your favourite feed reader, orContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #18”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #17

March 19th, 2008 “Textured Ceilings! See?! See?!” The rule of thirds tells us that we should place the subject of the photograph in bottom or top [and/or left or right] third of the frame. While it’s nice that the REALTOR® in question pays attention to the rule, it’s not so nice that it’s the wrongContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #17”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #16

March 18th, 2008 “Newest lolcat: I Can Haz MLSFoto?” New rule: any MLS Photos with cats will be turned into a lolcat – I couldn’t resist. Not necessarily a horrible shot, but pets should be left out of the pictures; you could be excluding potential buyers who may be allergic. This poor kitty looks particularlyContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #16”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #15

March 17th, 2008 “Life behind bars” All this photo tells the viewer is that there is a railing on the balcony. How big is the balcony? Is it in good shape? Private?

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #14

March 16th, 2008 “A stretched-out thumbnail does not a picture make.” Our MLS® system is not known for stunning high-resolution photos, but a bad situation is made worse by uploading a tiny thumbnail to the system. Make sure you use the highest-resolution on your camera, and that you don’t shrink them too much when processing.Continue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #14”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #13

March 15th, 2008 “My walls – let me show you them.” Even if the shot was composed in portrait (camera held vertically) instead of landscape, this wouldn’t be a terribly useful shot, but it would have been better than the washed out (due to internal flash being too close) wall on the left and theContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #13”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #12

March 14th, 2008 “Gorgeous high-end thermostats and switches!” Easily the best of the worst of the week. I really don’t know what to say on this one. Happy Friday everyone! See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres Subscribe via e-mail, your favourite feed reader, or bookmark this post:

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #11

March 13th, 2008 “Haunted House For Sale: Appliances included; spooks, ghouls, ghosts negotiable” A wide angle lens would enable a closer shot, without making the house look tiny. And brightness is easy to correct. This is the only picture on the system for this property.
