Money Watch just ran this article on Real Estate Photography and how important it is. With so many people searching homes on the internet and making buying decisions based on what they see on sites like Realtor.com, Realbird, Homegain and more.... the quality of your real estate photography is so important
Consider where your photos are going. “In almost
every real estate site, when a buyer searches, they get about 25
thumbnails, and that thumbnail is the primary exterior. So I recommend
that you spend ten times as much time in choosing that exterior photo
than you do the rest of the shots, because that’s the hook that will
get buyers to look at the rest of the photos.On Realtor.com, with the
four-photo layout, you have to have front exterior photos in the top
left because that’s where people look first, then you have to think
about the three other strongest photos of the home,” Lohrman said.
(Bonus tip: On Realtor.com, he thinks landscape shots — short wide
rectangles look stronger than portrait shots– tall skinny ones.) Read more of Alison Rogers article

photography: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words.... Part 2 - 11/12/08 01:04 PM
I wanted to take a moment to talk about the focal length of the camera
you use to photograph the interior of a home. You want to get the
widest angle possible. I use a 10mm to 20mm on a Nikon camera

I'm amazed at some of the photographs I see in our MLS. I went to
school for photography and worked in the industry for many years. I
thought I'd share a few tips on photographing the outside of a house.
